keep the intake you have now.....there are a lot of things you could do....port the intake and heads and add a custom cam OR just add some spray or save for a S/C

I like the idea of consistent hp which is what the S/C delivers

Save up and go for it. As for the AR they are nice to have but when they have the burst function they are better, mine does but I have an M4. Anyway this isn't a weapon forum so back to the good stuff. You may gain a little by getting an intake but I would save for something else.
