Intake Manifold

[94RIO]

I am looking for an intake What seems to work the best for street/strip driving?

 

[5.0_GT_kid]

I've heard good thing about Edelbrock Performer/RPM/RPM II manifolds. Trick has the "street heat" intake manifold. You got Cobra and GT-40 and Holley Systemax.

One of those should work for you.

I dont want to be an echo so...there's many to choose from. I have the knock off of the edelbrock performer (Typhoon) made by professional products. Its the same upper and lower just without the price tag and edlebrock name on it. I got mine to my door for 309.00 from blue oval performance.

 

[5.0_GT_kid]

I forgot about the typhoon, stng94, thanks for reminding me.

If your going to have a street strip car my recommendation is the typhoon or edelbrock, or the Cobra intake.

Or Explorer intake - it flows the same as the Cobra.

I thought about the Typhoon for myself, but isn't it supposed to be a replica of the Performer RPM? I'd rather not loose any low end torque.

Dude, Edelbrock Performer 5.0! Adds 37 horses to a STOCK 5.0! That's what I'm gonna roll with when I get around to it.

EDIT: Plus, it has a good power band for mostly stock 5.0's, idle-5500 rpm. So if you don't have heads and a cam etc. etc., I think it's a great intake.

I said many times before. Edelbrock Performer rules!

for an almost stock motor i would either go for the Cobra/Explorer/GT40 intake or edelbrock performer intake. Edelbrocks are nice because if you ever need the added airflow all you have to do is buy a better upper like the RPM or RPM II.

Not that it isnt good, but I will never believe that an intake will had 37 HP to a STOCK 5.0..That is a 20% gain over stock. I do agree that the Performer is the right choice tho, if you upgrade mods, you can change out the upper only.

If your motor is mostly stock, definetely do not get a GT-40!! That will kill your low rpms. If you plan on staying mostly stock, get the lowest of anyones brand. EX.--Edelbrock performer--idle to 5500--or the Holleys are good. The cobra will work well too.

dude the gt40 is almost exactly like the Cobra/Explorer intakes, they all use the same lower.

where are you getting ur info from?

That's what Eddy tells you - something like "up to 37HP" type of hype

 

[AznStanger3v]

eddy performer or trick flow street heat. yeah, 37 hp if you already have a SUPERCHARGER on a stock 5.0

Yeah, and the disclaimer on the ad says:

The 37HP they claim is flywheel HP which is correct. Add in the friction loss percentage and its around 22-25HP at the wheels. I got 22HP at the wheels so they were right on.

 

[94GTLaserRC]

There is a 40% drop from 37 to 22. So youre saying that there is a 40% loss to the rearwheels from the fly wheel?

If you normally consider 15% loss on a 5-speed, the 22 to the wheels represents 26 at the fly. (26-22) = 4. 4 divided by 26 is about 15%.

I am holding out for the BBK intakes supposedly coming out this summer. They are supposed to have one with the 94-95 elbow cast into the intake like the Cobra and stock intakes have for our Mustangs

The real potential of any intake and exhaust bolt-on will not be fully released until the stock heads are replaced and that's a fact.
