yea i graduate wednesday....i been lookin at BBK for the intake and TB....the SSI manifold is proven better than the Cobra ported intake....that wit a 70 mm throttle and it should give a nice lil boost in power for an old fox lol
sweet mines tuesday... the the bbk ssi with TB for $750 is that what your lookn at?do you know anyone that has run that?

if your going with the holley it will kill your low end torque on a stock motor if your going that way i would do the h/c/i at once. start saving

and the the op a edelbrock rpm intake with a 65 mm would be nice for you and as slow as u go and the edelbrock does not kill your low end torque as does the bigger runner holley.
the rpm intake has a rpm range of idle/1500-5500 perfect for the street. just dont go to big especially if u dont plan on throwing on some heads and a cam in there soon.

well again are u going to throw some heads,cam,blower on there soon or at all if not i would go with a 65mm i put one on my full bolt on car with 3.73,tires, and it had awesome throttle response then i put a 70mm on there with the stock setup just to see , and i noticed it on the bottom end it was not as crisp of a throttle response as the 65.

but if u are gonna do some more things then i would get the 70mm that way u dont have to buy twice or a 75 =mm if u really plan on aserious n/a motor or boost[8D]
