Lots of options but ...... what are your expectations or long term goals.

If you're only looking for about 275rwhp or so then gt40/cobra stuff will get the job done. You already got some of that stuff at this time.

More power will mean more serious combo parts.

Is a power adder in your future? If so, then that could make a difference on how you build it.

More specific details will help the members answer more accurately.

I think at most, I will be adding a 125 hp Nitrous setup in the future. I would like to get some respectable speed before I add a bottle tho.

So is the stock Cobra intake still fairly restrictive? Should I be looking at the GT-40 or TrickFlow?

The stock Cobra intake flows ~205-210cfm average and the restriction is in the lower intake, just like the stock intake. Ported they can flow 250-270 cfm without getting crazy. Flow numbers are just that - numbers. A properly ported Cobra that flows 260cfm is gonna have a much different torque curve than a Street Heat that flows 260cfm.
