Trying to decide between trickflow street burner,edelbrock street performer,orsome explorer gt-40 uppers and lower. Issue is the prices of each one in the order i put them in is like half of its previous competitor. So i was wondering in terms of horse power alone,is the trickflow giving enough HP to pay double the edelbrock,and 4x the explorer? If anyone knows round about HP gains with a stock 1991 302 for the above mentioned intakes or any recommends with advice and experience with maybe all 3 i’d be happy to hear it.

For a basically stock engine any of those would work well. It just comes down to price and looks honestly. I've had all three and if all three wear the same price I favor the trickflow but the gt40 intakes will be cheaper and easier to get so given a price standpoint i would grab one of those. You could also find a knock off edelbrock which aren't bad neither and usually are resold very cheap. Just clean it up and make sure the ports are clear
The trickflow intakes are huge and ugly IMO, and each of those intakes flow relatively the same. Can't go wrong with a $100 explorer special.
these are the things i like to hear. I knew there was a holder of all three. Ty
For a stock engine, the Cobra/GT40/Explorer intake picks up a little power. Anything bigger than that on stock heads, and you are actually going to see losses. The stock heads are the straw in this equation. The big intakes slow down the air too much before it has to squeeze through those tiny intake ports.

Stick with the gt40/cobra/exploder manifolds. if you plan to stay with the stock straw port heads.
if you are going to be getting a set of heads, then get a manifold that will match the heads.
also remember there are ALOT of good bargain heads out on the market nowadays.

Yeah, and you get what you pay for. You can get a Cobra intake ported to flow more than any bargain head. I'd still go with the Cobra intake. Quality one, not a Chinese knock off.
