Default Just bought a new intake manifold

I finally got some money together and bought a new intake manifold. I hope it works alot better over the GT40 I hadso let me hear your opinions on it. Its the Trickflow R (non box version)

Its going on a 306 with 11:5 to 1 compression, AFR 185cc heads, lunati nitrous cam with 242/252 duration at 50 and 560/576 lift, 75mm TB, 75mm MAF

I had 3 intakes in mind before I bought it. The Edelbrock Performer RPM II, Edelbrock Victor 5.0 or the Trickfow R.

Did I make a mistake buying this one?
Could I have made more power with the other two?

sounds pretty good. the trickflow r is pretty good from what i hear.. i hear that the RPM II is one of the best flowing 5.0 intakes though. sounds like you got a pretty nice set up though. you should deffanitly tell a difference in power going from a cobra to a trickflow r though.

do u still run on pump gas? nice cam i had it in my old car. and i think u made a pretty good choice with that intake it should compliament the set up with each of the flow qualities of the cam and the heads
