1, is only a lower intake that uses the stock upper
2, is the upper and lower

Id either get the 2 or a cobra/explorer set-up

What engine combo are you putting these intakes on? Because they are both built for completely different setups... Your lack of knowledge of knowing the difference between the two makes me wonder if your buying the right parts...

lol, thanks for the concern. i appreciate the attempt to belittle me i guess?

i have seen these for sale, listed as systemax 1 or systemax 2. both cases it was upper and lower. the new ones on summit and every other site don't say systemax 2 that i've seen.

thanks for clarifying tanus.

Ha i was not trying to belittle you. I was simply making sure you weren't going to put a systemax II intake and 42lb injecters on a stock engine. That sorta deal.

stock heads/exhaust, 90mm tb, 60# injectors, systemax intake, 4:56's to start. probably get a custom ground cam from my local autozone if funds allow.
