OK, everyone says to get like a trickflow street intake, or the performer efi, or the cobra, etc. What i want to know, is these all are good on a stock engine, but i will be adding heads soon., Could i get a typhoon for now, and will that complement my heads? thanks!

cobra intake costs a little less than the trick flow intake or the performer intake, it also produces a little less power, a typhoon intake would not be good for your car because it is a replica of the edelbrock performer rpm, and you do not have enough power to run the typhoon, a typhoon lower and an edelbrock performer 5.0 upper would work though, but i would opt for the performer 5.0 intake which I am also getting, joe (vib) dyno'd it at 22 rwhp on stock heads, your best bet to purchase it is ebay

if the typhoon is a replica of the eddy rpm, then why does everyone still go out and buy the eddy knowing it is quite a bit more??? brand trust?

as the saying goes, you get what you pay for.....the edelbrock intake is far better as far as fitment, workmanship, etc.....

on our engines, the intake is the main bottleneck. i got a trick flow street heat intake and ported stock heads (thumper). i'm looking to see about 250 rwhp and 280 rwtq with that combo.

the trick flows should help alot on a stock engine and even more on one with aftermarket heads.

most buy the Edelbrock because most start out with the Performer 5.0....which is better for a mild combo, then swap out for the RPM upper later on...the RPM/Typhoon is a little much for a mild combo....and there is probably a little brand trust involved as well....
