Intake Manifold
Does anyone make an aftermarket intake manifold or are ours just not that bad stock? also if they are unavailable maybe any tricks to get it to flow better air .. i will be installing a new throttle body and heads from supersix motorsports and i want somethin that will keep up with the flow of all the new units .. i plan on also supercharging in the near future

Don't count on it, most of the big mods go to the GT. If you want to open up the airways then you'll have to get it done yourself. But their are heads and cams for our stangs but i wouldn't do business with them after an incident somebody else had with them. SSM that is

Explorer Express could probably fab up a better intake for NA cars if they were inclined. You can get some regrinds from Crane for the cams, you can get the pistons from wiseco, that is what SSM does. As far as heads and the block, you can have any machine shop do it for you. SSM is one of the shops that has a relationship with an engine builder. Delk is another shop and I'm sure all the top shops have relationships to help you out.

Actually, its a matter that is between SSM and one of their customers (its not a public matter). Outside of that, there are individuals happy with SSM and they have a strong following in the 3.8 world. Are there alternatives? Yes. So do some research, do the math and go with what works best for you.
