Default Intake manifold

I have a 91 mustang. C&L 76mmmass air meter, 70mm throttle body, bassani headers, bbk xpipe, flowmaster exhaust, mac pulleys 24injectors. And i havent decided what intake manifold i want to get yet. Im looking at the Holley Systemmax manifold, was wondering what is your guys opinions on the holley and other manifolds such as typhoon, bbk, or cobra.

systemax imo, is the sweetest stock style intake out there. The ports on the lower intake are literally about as big as they possibly can be without making the walls too thin. The opening is very large and should mate up to a 70mm throttle body very well. If you ever add a blower, this intake will definitely be a huge help in making some mad hp. Systemax is the best!

Oh, and if you have a hood that is even an inch higher than stock, you should use the 1" phenolic spacer between the upper and lower intake, which allows better heat dissipation in the upper intakeas well as the ability to use taller valve covers if so desired.
