Default True or no?

Okay so i went to my local performance parts dealer and was going to order some stuff for the stang and i brought up trickflow manifolds. He said trickflow manifolds werent the best and are very heavy, and told me to go with the GT40 intake. He said hell sell me the GT40 intake for 699, is that a ripoff? Also what do you guys think, is he right, should i go with the GT40, or should i go with the Trickflow intake. I plan on doing some AFR heads in the future.

Ya that price is a little too high, but i would choose the tubular ford racing gt 40 over the trick flow personally.

Yea i knew the price was high cuz i went on the net and seen it for a lot cheaper and whatnot, so i guess the question now is what intake should i go with? Im going with 1.7 rockers, 70mm TB, cold air, and an intake of somesort in a week or two. I plan on going with some AFR heads in the future and probably a cam of some sort, so should i go with track or Street heat? The guy also told me the computer in the 94&95 wont accept other cam shafts, so i would have to buy a computer from a fox body and a harness or something from Pro-M. I'm pretty sure thats most of what he said. true or no? sorry im a newb and just tryin to learn!
