Trick Flow is a decent brand.

Are you looking for just an intake or are you going to swap out the heads too? How about the camshaft? If you're going to take out the intake and swap it, you might as well do the other two as well. It can be a bit pricey, but if you shop around there are good deals to be had.

Doing a full H/C/I is going to be your best bet. However, installing just an intake manifold is a pretty easy project to do. When people ask to just install a cam, then doing the H/C/I at once is the best thing to do. I would get the cobra intake. It flows well for a mild H/C/I car or bolton. If you are on a budget, you could also get the explorer manifold from a local junkyard. It is identical to the cobra.

Trick Flow street heat is a nice one for what your looking for, but for the money the Cobra, or the explorer wich is a gt40 stlye intake.
