Default need some help with intakes

Hi I need some Intake help. Right now I an running a trick flow track heat intake. My car is running high 7.80s in the 1/8th. I have afr 185s, trick flow stage 2 cam, 24# injectors, 75mm all, and bored 30 over. I would like to get down to 7.50s and was wondering if anybody thinks the trickflow R series might get me there. I would take any suguestions. Thanks

Before you go swapping parts that have already been upgraded from stock theres alot of room where you can improve. Suspension being the first thing. Depending on how much you want to spend you can make some major improvements in your cars handling, 1/4, etc. Check out some subframe connectors, lower control arms, etc.

thank god for torque plates lol Your 60ft times are pretty good but I would definitely work on that rear suspension. And also, for the price of a nice U/L manifold you can buy a tubular front suspension and knock some decent weight off the front.
