That's what I thought but there are so many different types of heads and people coming out with them that I said, "who knows?"

If everything is stock, might just want to upgrade your throttle body and plenum for now. And really, just buy whichever one you want cus they will all do the same thing.

It's not stock. I have a procharger P-1sc kit on it with a 3 core intercooler to match. I also have full exhuast. Which one would you think would be best for me?

You have stock heads and cams right? If so, i wouldn't waste money on a aftermarket intake manifold. If there is any real power to be had it's after 6k, which is your limit anyway.

I'd do the 75mm Accufab combo or maybe the 78mm BBK

What i meant is that your throttle body and plenum are stock so an aftermarket intake wouldnt do much for you anyways seeing that you will be restricted by the stock plenum and 65mm throttle body. I know you have a procharger, as that was clearly stated in your original post. I would say that your best bet would probably be the accufab 75mm tb/plenum combo or the BBK throttle intake. You will see a gain with either one after a tune for the upgrade.

The accufab combo seems to be a little more expensive than the BBK though. 450 vs 250 dollars. They both advertise about the same gain (if you believe all of the claims). The accufab is 75 mm and the BBK is 78mm. I can't imagine there would be that much difference...except for an extra 200 dollars in your pocket

I remember reading a while back that the Accufab was built with tighter tolerances (quality) and as a result people were not having as many fitment issues, idle problems, etc. Other than that (which i would guess is very minor between good brands) i can't imagine much of a difference at all.

The edlebrock gains 30-40rw on a properly modified engine before the Power adder is added. :0)

I was just talking about the intake plenum and throttle body combo, no the intake manifold.
