Just making a wish list for christmas and my goals for the next 6 months. hoping to have an intake manifold (along with a 65mm TB and 76mm MAF), 1.7rr and a catback (probably super 40s) and maybe gears who knows. Now the questions (yeah yeah yeah i ask more than enough of them)...

What is the best (cheapest) intake manifold for a bolt-on 5.0 with some 3.73s in the future?

Should I go with a 73 or 76mm MAF or does it really matter that much?

76 maf,and i would look into a pro. products intake and just clean up the ports alittle and there you go,good intake for the money,or you could try to find a used intake like a eddy,TF,etc..

Sounds good, I've heard that all the Pro products intakes just need a little cleaning up on the runners, so I'm guessing that I should invest in a porting kit? What rpms are they good for? What about the Cobra intakes?

for a good cheap intake i vote Cobra, got mine with a ported lower for 250$, alot of good deals out there. also bought a used 65mm TB for 75$ and a B-303 cam for 75$ 3.55 gears paid 100$ total=500$ all i need now is some good heads (looking at getting some gt-40 turbo swirls around 750$) and 12s' here i come !

1. gears 3.73,3.90,4.10
2. converter, converter, converter
3. 76 mm mass air and 65 or 70mm tb

intake on stock heads worth 10-20hp, mass air 10-15hp, tb 5-10hp.
or a good converter that can multiple torque and have less rotating mass that will drop et .5-.6 or about the same as the feeling of 50-60 hp.

Quik

for cheap intake get the GT40E one. youll save money and have a good intake

You guys are really talkin me into getting a convertor, my buddy just had his AOD rebuilt with a 3600 rpm stall but I don't think that they put the correct one in there because i still smoke his @$$.
