Default Non-mass air intake options

Hey guys I just finished swapping a 5.0 into my jeep and want more power. Its all pre mass air and I'm not sure if any aftermarket intake will work or is their only certain ones that will work with it? Thanks in advance for the help.

any intake will work. its the cam you gotta pay attention to with a speed density setup as opposed to mass air.

basically... the computer adjusts fuel according to engine vacuum, instead of a MAF setup where it adjusts based on how much incoming air.

You can run any intake and heads, but as mentioned above you have to be careful with you cams. Heres a charts that I found that helped ALOT when I was building my old 86 SD car. But keep in mind you might still need a tune and finding someone (dyno shop) that can burn chips for SD cars is getting harder to find. Heres the cam chart,
