Default Intake Question

I am debating between the Edelbrock Performer 5.0 and the Frod Racing GT40 intake and was wondering what you all thought on these two and am considering recomendations thanks Patrick

looking at ur mods i wouldnt bother with an intake setup yet. But if ur heart is set on getting a manifold those are both really good. Im like the gt40 more because it doesnt relinquish any lowend power opposed to many other intakes, but u cant go wrong with edelbrock either.

GT-40 is a nice intake setup.

i love my Edelbrock and if you want that one then get the performer bc its built for idle - up not 1500 - up. also the edelbrock has a side intake cover that makes it easy to clean and to port for more HP in the future

If you are going to be putting heads and things of that sort go with the 70mm TB but if you are not going to do much then yes the 65mm will do fine...

Edit: Go with the GT-40.. It supports a ton of lowend-midrage and will also support upper rpm (5500+) very well... Which is a surprise coming from and intake with so much low-mid power...
