Is this a good starting place?
if you want your motor to look prettier, yes
if you wanna go faster... no

you will not gain more than 7-10 hp w/ an intake swap at this point.

the 3 best mods you can make ... bang for the buck are the following:

1) gears.... go 4.10's and get a set of cheater slicks, you'll knock off about 1 second or 10 car lengths by this

2) nitrous, jet it at about 75-100 for another 1 second cut in et

3) heads, the choke point in the 5.0 is the heads, also the starts to get expensive, but until you do heads.... intake, tb, maf... none of that will do anything for you cuz your not lacking air volume
