There is no "BEST" intake.

It depends on MANY variables.

heads
cam
desired power
supporting mods

the list goes on and on...

Agree'd, its like everything else on an engine, figure out what you want the engine to do and pic the best parts to match the purpose.

i was gonna go with the GT 40X turbo swirl heads and either a B or E cam. Supercharger later on down the road. Ive been told that the GT 40 intake is the best, and this setup is the best. Anyone disagree with this? I guess my question should be is the best H/C/I setup?

Dont waste money on the GT40 aluminum heads. Get some AFR 165's or some Twisted Wedges. You'll be much more happy with that.

NOT Cobra or Edelbrock. I would personaly go with the Trickflow, but you can find GT40's cheap, and theyr good. I dont know anything about the SSI other than its expensive.

I have the GT-40X heads on a 308 with an original port/polished cobra intake and B303 cam. Easy swap (12 hours) and she flies.

I went with the 64cc GT-40X over the AFR's for the low compression since I plan on a charger, easiest to install and a more reasonable price tag.

A cobra intake is great for a supercharger, lots of people run them with a supercharger and make awesome power with it.
