ebay

performer rpm's typically sell for $350

a cobra intake w/ a ported lower is better than a holley imo and i sold one for $250

i have bought 2 real gt40 tubular intakes this winter, for $350 and $400

they both came w/ upper/lower, 65tb+ egr spacer, 24 lb inj, phenolic spacer, and 1 has fuel rails and fpr on it as well

right now is a good time to buy
best thing to do is watch a couple auctions end on ebay to get an idea of "real" value

also check the clasifieds on stangnet.com , corral.net , here , californiafords.com , craigslist etc

a lot of swapmeets coming up in all states right about now too, last year the big one in detroit a guy a real gt40 intake and gt40 p heads , everything was ported a little (good for a street car) fresh everyhting, never been on a car after valvejob, portwork etc. 1.7 rockers on the heads, tb everything... for $800

i'm not a "p" head fan, but this was done right, i guarantee it was a 12-sec combo to just put on

just don't be in a hurry, and look around really good

None of these are better than a Holley. The RPM comes close.

i'v got a holly systemax upper and lower and love it, actualy swapped it from a gt-40...im not sayin gt-40s are bad (they look pretty badass as well) but i dunno if you have plans on going S/C or T/C but from what i hear the systemax is the sh*t when it comes to that...just a thought tho...btw nitrous_bob that teal coupe is sexy as hell..haha
