holley systmax II, or edelbrock performer rpm II
ok so i need to do injectors and fuel pressure regulator on the mustang in order to get it running, and i figure since i already have to take the upper off, why not just do a little extra work and replace the intake....
Mods on car:
-Paxton Novi 2000
-anderson power pipe
-75mm TB
-lightning 90mm maff
-e303 cam
-1.6 rr's
-BBk LT headers
-msd 6BTM
-4.30 gears
-tko 600
Just looking for opinions and thoughts, on which intake you feel would suit my combination?

Holley Systemax. The original Vortech intake manifold was a similar design. I think Holley took their design or vice versa. You still retain good low end torque and a strong mid-upper powerband. Is your car running good now?

I tried to take the car for a spin, and while driving it would buck and make a poping noise so not really sure what is going on yet, just hoping its a lack of fuel issue and not something else
And thanks for the info on the intakes

At least it runs, that's good. When I first got my Vortech on, the car ran like poop. It did the exact same thing as you described. I was able to make it run decently by adujusting the MAF and making sure there was no vacuum leaks. But once I hooked the Tweecer up, I downloaded a base tune from a guy in Louisiana. The car ran pretty good. So I bumped the timing to 18 degrees and the car has been running like a champ. I think that PMS will really waken your car.

One of my friends who has an 03 cobra is going to hook me up with Bob Kurgan once i get the car running decently, to have him tune it up for me this summer!

RPMII. It's the newest design and has proven to be the best on the market at this time. Because you are boosted I doubt you could tell the differance between those two. I'd say whichever you could get the best deal on
