Default intake manifold?

Going to be getting a new intake manifold what do you guys recommend?
1992 5.0
have a bbk intake, throttle body 75mm. ERG 75mm
going to be putting on some headers also. have a cat. delete H pipe.
everything else is stock but looking for more power bolt on performance parts.
later on maybe some heads but thats way down the road.
power and every day driver.

thanks for the advice.

The trickflow intakes are very nice pieces! Way better than most as cast larger runner ports than most other designs too!

How much are they running?
Trick flow web page didn't provide cost.
Sry for wrong area I'm always doing that lol.
Also do they have a complete set with fuel rails and injectors?

how long are you going to be keeping the stock heads and cam on it? I seen you already bought a huge (as in too big for your engine) throttle body....but it is one of those items people only like buying once....which makes sense so long as the rest of the engine doesn't stay stock for 5 years after.. Save yourself some money and pick up a cheap explorer intake until you have the money for a good set of heads...

TFS track heat intakes are around $470-480 new. Keep your stock fuel rail for now. Injectors will set you back $200 for a set of venom injectors on late models web sight. Heads cam etc to complete the entire package. Might not run at it's best trying to get a ton of air to flow thru stock heads.

TFS-51511001 summit racing unless you are planning on a bottomend endevour use the tfs stg 1 cam stock heads with a vlv job and stock injectors will get you some 8.60s in the 1/8th mile with the right suspension and gearing tires etc....

I'm running the trick flow street intake with stock heads and cam...I think it was well worth the money. And they look good!

Well thats what I'm asking what do you guys think. I get how everything works. but not a spec kinda guy just messing around with it and having fun.
But also want to make sure I get the best bang for my buck and asking everybody that either deals with it everyday or has much more then I have.
As for the 75mm I asked around and got with American Muslce was the same price as a smaller throttle/EGR Set. said, to just go with it. Not going to hurt any and if down the road you want to go wild wouldn't have to get another.

one piece at a time for this ride. one bolt on after another every year.
So after the intake not to long Ill be putting some headers on.
Getting ride of the egr and smog also just becuase I like the clean look.
I know people are always saying don't do it or dissagree with it. But I dont have emissions here anyway. So why not....
