Default Which Intake Manifold???

I aplogize to any of you who have see this type of post before. I really can't find what I need elsewhere or with the search.

I need any intake manifold for 1500-6500. The obvious choices are Trickflow Track Heat, Edlebrock Performer RPM II, Holley System Max II, or a used GT-40. Are there any that are good, but not in my list? I am leaning toward the TFR, but really would like to find a GT-40! LMK, thanks.

no bbk.
i used to want that one too.
until u ask someone who's had one.
they work like crap dont waiste ur money.
and i may be mistaken but i think those spyder manifolds are a little worse than the holleys and stuff but they really shine if u have forced induction.
not sure if thats true but i remember reading it on these forums before.
but if it were me id go with the edelbrock or holley.

At BBKPerformance.com they have an article comparing a Ported Cobra with a the SSI. The SSI came out on top by about 12 at peak and a little bit more under the curve. Since I have a non-Cobra intake the gains are tempting. Also I found the BBK SSI thread with a a really good comparison of many popular manifolds. I'll post it in a minute.

everyone on here that has one hates it and sells it.
i guess u cant keep oil from getting into the pcv system no matter what you do.
and the quality isnt the usual bbk top notch stuff like their other things.
i cant make u not get it but be prepared to sell it

Post 11 have a great comparison of many popular intakes. As for the SSI, I will shy away from it due to all the commotion. I'll liking the Eddy RPM II. I hope the graph helps. Sticky?

i have the spyder intake there are pics in my sig and they are good intakes for forced induction but since i am planning for the future but if you are planning on staying n/a i would say the holley and that intake is awsome n/a or forced induction. i like the spyder and it shines when you put some boost behind it and it looks good.
