Default Should i get a new intake?

My current setup is Edelbrock performer RPM heads with 1.6RRs, some unknown cam that sounds pretty big with a cobra intake. It will have a vortech on it in the near future.


You think i would benefit to get rid of the cobra intake for something else?

Yes.

Time for a trick flow or edelbrock intake.

It wont cost you much if you sell your cobra........

maybe get an rpm II intake to match the heads, but with boost in the future , intake won't be a huge concern, either way I'd still swap it

RPM II with those heads. When you got the superchager route you may want to consider a cam swap as well.

The TFS Track Heat manifold would also work well for your application.

Cobra intake a good intake, I ran in the mid-10's with a Vortech T-trim....RPM II would be a better intake these days! ...and +1, get a custom SC cam!
