70Mm TB and 73 to 76MM MAF.
For the money, I would go Typhoon, though the Holley Systemax intake seems to be the best for power.

RPM II. dont look at the typhoon unless you feel like doing some clean up/port work on it....then shes worth it.

i wouldnt go with the TF intake with that blows.


BTW did anyone read the summit built sn95 on 5.0 magazine september issue? 347 stroker w/ trick flow top end only hittin 311hp and 345tq!

I usually tell people to buy the Systemax intake, and others have argued about the RPM II. I actually looked at the RPM II the other day and started laughing. It's almost a dead nuts rip off of the Holley. LOL!

So I guess the answer is...Don't bother with the intakes you listed, get either the Systemax, or the RPM II.

anyway, I hear the systemax II is a good intake with long intake runners for more low end torque
