edelbrock rpm II
+1...they did tests on it in muscle mustangs and fast fords and it showed the most gains out of any intake they had tested.
thats true, but only for peak HP...you can actually get equal or lower HP numbers on the low end...but its still a very good intake.

Mine came with the Holley Systemax II. I like it so far.

It takes 5 minutes to take the upper intake off, so don't let that be a deciding factor...

For a minor build up, I would go with the TFStreet Heat intakes, Cobra, or the Edelbrock Performer.
