Default Intake manifold shoot out....

Now that its time for me to purchase on a intake manifold to go along with the E303 cam and the 1.7RR im getting. Im very confused on which intake manifold to get.
Its needs to be from (idle-5500rpm) or or (1500-6000Rpm) ranges. Im looking for a streetable manifold. a manifold that doesnt loose the low end TQ. also Price isnt an all that important. I looking for the one that flows the best, and will give good low-mid end hp/tQ....not just all top end.

gt40 all the way. Edelbrock is good too. I have the trickflow street and i lost some low end hp and torque, but up-top its just as good as any...or better. But for the street stay with gt40 or edelbrock. Even the cobra intake is good up to 350hp.

on most street cars that don't have very good supension mods losing a lil down low might help you from wheel spin.. and push a lil more hp to off idle(1500 rpm) a trick flow or a typhoon will work nicely..do port match them though I would also use a 1/2 spacer as well

honestly, i have not felt any low end hp drops at all
high end is unbelieveable.i would suggest to spend the
extra $ and get one.

systemax intake would be to much for what hes looking for. unless he plans on supercharging it right when he gets the car running again. id say either the gt-40, typhoon or the performer rpm. the rpm ewould be my number one choice though
