You can buy my edelbrock performer for $400. It's practically brand new.

Either intake will work great. If I had those two choices I would take the Trick Flow.

A Cobra and GT40 intake aren't the best if you plan on installing heads...You can't port a GT40 and you'd have to port the Cobra to support high flow cylinder heads...
My vote is for an Edelbrock Performer, which out-flows both stock Ford intakes and supports porting and or switching just the upper manifold for a different power band/combo..
Good luck

the rpm 2 is a great intake but its a little too much moneywise if you aren't going with a big cam stroker motor. trickflow is always great. i told you i have a brand new streetheat zero miles with the 1" spacer for $400 if you want it.

In your first post you said you plan on getting heads, cam etc. What kind of cam or heads will you get in the future? You should get something that will work well with you planned mods so you do not have to go back and swap intakes again.

Don't put the E cam in there. I had an E cam put in about 5 year's ago when there wer'nt that many choices. Now I happened to get a used shortblock that has an F cam in it which is alot better than the E cam and pull's hard till 6500 rpm's. Last month's issue of MM&FF has a good article in it about the Anderson cam's and has some useful information that should help You out. Do some homework and see what combo's work good together before You spend a bunch of money and don't end up with what You want.

Not sure how much of a difference there will be between the TFS intake and the GT40. I'm guessing there won't be very much. The GT40 intake will work good with your TFS heads. I would recommend porting the lower if you decide to go with the GT40.
Don't get an e-cam get a TFS stage 1 cam

GT40 & Cobra intakes are BOTH restrictions compared to the TFS intakes.

The GT40 and Cobra intakes are great intakes to throw on basic to stock motors, but when you add heads, cam etc they become restrictions.

I'd stick with the street heat. Being N/A you'll want the lower end power since I doubt you will be taking it to 6,500RPM's.

..............He's asking for the best flowing intake for his combo, as I see it...............
He's N/A so clearly the RPM II/Holley Systemax intakes will not help him at all. Also the Cobra and GT40 do not flow enough. So a great middle ground intake for him will be the Street Heat intake.
Understand
