Default Upgrade Intake Manifold ?

On a 01 GT that is supercharged, would you change the intake? If so which one would you think is best?

The reason I am asking is that I still want a little more power out of this car, and people are saying to upgrade the intake manifold. There is a lot of choices out there, so I am wondering what do you guys think?

Thanks

No offence but I wouldn't put professional products parts on my lawn mower. I had their Tb and it sucked *****. I had to modify it just to get it to work.

The only intake I suggest is the trickflow. It's the only I use on my car and on my buddys car I built his making 535rwhp with 12lbs of boost.

The P51 is a short runner intake which means you have to rev very high to get any gain from it and you will lose alot of down low power. In other words not a street intake.

The HPS sold by THR is a good intake but still a long runner intake so not much power up top like the stock intake.

yea i agree on the pro. products stuff..but i still run it. it cost me 3 grand in manifold work to get it to actually work right and i havent p and p it yet. but i like the manifold itself for the powerband. everything i have really builds power on the top end.

Dude. Stay as far away from Texas Hot Rods as you can. There customer service is bottom of the barrel. If something goes wrong you can expect them to treat you like dog S#@!. Trust me, it happened to me when they sold me defective headers. I had to wait almost a month to get everything right. There's a manager there named Ken who is a @$$^&*(. he takes the sides of his associates before he even talks to you to find out what's wrong. I guess he was never taught H.E.A.T. when it comes to servicing the customer.

H- hear
E- empathize
A- analyze
T- take action

I'm not saying to not by the trickflow. Don't get me wrong. Just don't buy it from them. Save yourself the grief that I went through. Stay away from THR. FAR AWAY!!!!!
