alrite guys, i am tryin to cut corners everywhere here on my stang project, so i have yet another question, do u think with afr 165's a stock intake with a big throttle body would be sufficient or should i jsut replace the whole thing, keep in mind i am in college and no job yet so any little bit will help

changing to any performance head should be mated to a nice performance intake. your entire engine is only as good as its weakest part. a stock intake will still flow stock CFM rates, regardless of changing the head.

a stock intake is going to choke those AFR's... get a cobra or explorer intake if you wanna stay cheap.
