Talking intake questions? please help

I have a question for everyone. I want to know what intake will be best for me, my application, future plans, and cost wise. I have an 88 Mustang Gt 5 speed with mass air, bbk cold air intake, bbk h pipe and flowmasters with stock headers..

I have a guy who will sell and install an Edelbrock performer RPM upper and lower intake, fuel rails, 19lb injectors, regulator, 1 inch spacer, 70 mm throttle body, egr spacer and replace my head gaskets for 750.00.

I want my mustang to be naturally asperated. A supercharger would be nice but is probably an unlikely dream. I would like to have 350-400 hp max and it would be my daily driver.. also want to keep a/c. I was wondering if I should do that or go with a cobra intake.. Either way I go my parts will most likely be used.. let me know what you think...

scrap the 19's for inj, decide what hp level you want and at least do some heads if gaskets are being replaced

intake swap alone is not that noticable, get a cam and a set of heads to go with it to see real gains. and your car stock comes with 19's so why would you buy more? Cobra intake supports up to around 350hp and I am not sure about the edlebrock.

...If replacing a head gasket, just get some new heads! ...even if you have to look used!
