ORIGINAL: FiveOhNo

ORIGINAL: 2slow4u

stock: 321@5100 and 378@3600
BBK SS1 367@5600 and 381@4600
GT 40 363@5600 and 391@3900
Performer 366@5500 and 387@4000
Trick flow street 366@5500 and 386@4400

Other than peak they had about the same curves. Can't really go wrong.
(note) SS1 comes with fuel rails that fit.
lame...trickflow street? nobody uses trickflow street...oh well
Actually I do, and I really like it.. As you can see, it is one of the best in that list with the power it makes.. It is like using the Performer from edelbrock over the performer RPM.. It really is a great intake, and looks good too. (see avatar)

a misconsumption is getting a intake larger then what thier combo actually needs. you dont always need the highest rpm range intakes. for one you dont always drive that high in the rpms, second chances are your motor combo isnt ment to make power up that high, third your setup usually cant support high rpm use. anybody can spin a motor a high rpm but that doesnt mean it makes power up there. if you got a motor that makes power from 1500 to 5500 and got say and intake that makes power from 2500 to 6500 then what good is it? your actually hurting alot more down low and not using the intake to its full potenial thus would actually be hurting your setup without the proper intake. this is why when building a car you need to know from the door what your goals are. you cant just buy parts as you go and hope they all work together. this is why you get so many cars with mods that dont run no where near their full potential
