Default Would the BBK SSI intake wor good with my current setup?

I am wanting to get the new BBK intake but I just wonder if it would be worth it. Worth it, meaning, make a noticeable difference in power. Here is a list of my current mods.

Mods include:
BBK 2.5" exhaust
Flowmaster mufflers
Bullett tips
JBA Headers
MAC pullies
MAC cold air intake
1.7 Cobra roller rockers
Accel ignition
Eibach springs
Sub-frame connectors
Pro 5.0 shifter
3.55 gears

If you had the money Id reccomend doing the upper and lower intake along with the heads, now that would make a huge differance in any setup. The LX's weakest point is its heads, they are horrible.

i think it will make a little difference... it will prolly make your peak hp faster to get to.. i know when i put my TF intake on it seemd like my motor reved a lil faster... also got great throttle response, but i like the way it looks most....... i didnt expect no more then 15rwhp.... heads is where its at.........

The LX heads? Try all of the heads on 5.0 Mustangs of any year. The E7TE truck heads were the best, and that's not saying a whole lot as they SUCK too! I suggest AFR 165cc Street heads for any street application mustang. They are the best on the market, read up on tham at www.airflowresearch.com. They are pretty trick. (NPI) They go for around 1250 or so...

I plan on eventually doing heads and a cam. I was thinking I would do the upper and lower intake first though. I dont think I can just wait to do it all at once. I am too impatient.
