Default Heads, Intake, CAI

What would be the best heads, intake, and CAI combo?


I've heard good things about GT40 heads and Trick Flow intake manifolds.

What's a good Head/Intake/CAI combo for street/strip racing?

I like mybudget GT40P head, Cobra intake manifold, K&N airfilter with the silencer removedcombo. I picked up alot of power with this setup but don't expectas much as an aluminum head with a higher flowing intake manifold engine would do.

opinions on this will vary greatly as it'll be like someones back side = everyones got one!! but a safe answer as to not get flamed would be a good aluminum head....custom cam and a intake capable of decent flow to 6500
