Default intake manifold question

I recently purchased a vortech s-trim, and currently my set up is looking like: cobra intake mani., b303, gt40x heads
Well my question was... would changing my cobra intake to a holley systemax make a huge difference?

I'm not sure ifit will be any better due to it being supercharged. You already have forced Induction with that blower. I may be wrong. What injector size are you running?

the holley systemax intake is a GREAT intake for forced induction

I think it will, the Cobra is best for n/a while the Holley is best for f/i

I'd reccommend swapping.. the cobra has it's limitations

man if u have a chance to pic up a holley for good deal then do it if not the cobra intake will be alright until u can switch

either a holley or a rpm 2 would be good

not sure but both are real good for boosted apps. i have a rpm 2 on my 306 and the ports are huge i had the gaskets that trickflow called for a 1250 i believe and the rpm calls for a 1262 and i shoulda port matched the heads.

so u will have to dig up some flow rates if u want to find out both are good intakes and about the same unless used

I believe the holley is good to 6000 or 6500.. it is comparable to an rpm intake
