Alot better than the stock setup, an RPM would probably be better though.

well you'd be wasting your HP and money by using a stock intake with those heads - and yes the intake in question is certainly better..... but i'd look around and try to find one of these...

i hear they are the best 5.0 intakes around

for the price thats a pretty a good deal since you're getting the fuel rails and TB as well....anything is better than the stock fiver manifold.
