Default Which intake?

88 5.0 w/ speed density, = headers, O/R H, Flow 40's, CAI.( in colorado springs co.)
Keeping cost in mind, and certainly more mods down the road, do I go with the simple 5.0 Cobra intake for $350'ish or spend more on a Trick Flow ('Street' most likely)? maybe the BBK? Is there THAT much difference for the cost? What do you think and why?
Anyone have actual perf gain #'s on just changing the intake? Would I need to retune afterwards or just bolt on and go?

Bolt on and go, they cost more but id go with the holley or edelbrock rpm 2 buttrickflow is just fine too, dont bother buying a cobra intake brand new there all over the place, adder has one hes looking to sell cheap.

I agree. Although the trickflow/cobra is cheaper, i'd go with the holley or edlebrock also. I have a holley (with the heads) and i pleased with how well it works
