Default Need a diff intake???

As most of you know I have the holley systemax on my stang, and that I am getting a set of trick flow heads soon. Should I swap my holley for another intake? because I am not happy with my low end. If I swap it for something else what should I get? im looking for a good mid-high range intake but not something thats going to kill my low end. Or should I get my heads put it togeather and see how it runs?

Well, if you are not happy with your low end now why would you want to get another manifold that had a higher power range?

Yeah Tim the Holley is real close to the TFS Track heat from what Ive heard. If your wanting better bottom to mid-range power go with the Street Heat intake.

I have the track heat. I kinda wish I would have went with the street so I could get some more bottom end torque.
But the way it is now with the track heat its kind of nice cause Im not burning the hell out of the tires taking off, and when it hit about 3300RPMs its like someone just hit your car from behind and your gone.
