Default Which Intake Manifold?????

I have a 90 GT with a Paxton supercharger. Which intake manifold does everyone recommend??? Its my daily driver and i dont intend to do a major work over on my engine in the foreseeable future. Maybe heads in the next 5 years. thats the most i intend to do for now.
I was thinking the BBK ssi-r ??? any good ? i had the BBK SSi on my 92 stang and it was good never gave me any problems gave me the extra power i was expecting from it. but everyone i talked to wondered why i got it.

your heads if stock are gonna be the restriction so I don't see an intake adding to much more power, how many psi are you running??

I'm running 6 psi. I intend to eventually add AFR heads when i can get the money to do it.

I have an old cobra(gt-40) lower manifold that i got ported awhile ago when i was thinking of putting a keene bell super on my 92. would it be worth it to buy the upper and just using that??

keep your current charger, do yourself a favor and buy the biggest TW heads you can get your hands on. 225's and get em ported if you can afford it. the intake i suggested and then when funds allow, get a custom cam. you'd probably need a strong block by then though...you'd be well over 500rwhp...probably gettin into the 600 or 650's

if it were me i would use that. since you got the lower ported it should have removed the restrictions that lower had compared to the upper. just go to the junk yard and pull the upper off of an explorer. clean it up and you will save a ton of $$.

a few min with a wire wheel on a drill and some engine primer/paint and it will look new.

that will hold you over until you save up cash for new heads

or buy a smaller pulley
