Default TrickFlow Intake

Alright..I'm thinkin 'bout getting a TrickFlow Street Heat Intake...instead of a Typhoon or Cobra...(that's what I first thought I really wanted to do) Is the TrickFlow better? and if I were to get it...what all would I need to replace?? Throttle body...maf...anything?? Or would it just...go directly onto where the 'ole 5.0 HO intake is? Also...would there need to be any cleaning of the ports or anything if I were to get the trickflow? or are they already pretty nice?

This would be going onto a basically stock 5.0...is that ok? or is other stuff needed?

I would get a Throttle Body also ... Thats if you have the Extra $ ... There not that much i got mine off Ebay used 99 bucks ... Dont get a 70mm if you dont have Heads/ Cam or obviously Forced Induction ... Go with a 65mm .... You will actualy loose a bit from a 70 without bigger mods ... But everything should match and fit up perfecrt ... I would also recomend Some sort of Air Filter ... K&N .. or a BBK CAI
