I've got a 93 LX with the list of mods below. I'm looking to get a new intake manifold and MAF sensor as well. I'm looking for suggestions from the all knowing Mustang gurus. What would be the best intake to get with the super charged setup I have below. Also, I'm thinking that an upgrade at MAF would be quite beneficial too.

Also, where could I find performance comparisions and ratings on Intakes?

Thanks in advance!

with your setup i would go with the downs racing gt-40 box upper and port the cobra/gt-40 lower you have, it would work great with the blower.

Get a hot street/strip manifold with long runners so you dont lose low and mid-range torque: RPM II, Systemaxx etc... If you spend a lot of time over 6000RPMs go with a Victor5.0 or TFS Box-R

forget the intake, you need to address a lot of suspension issues, unless you left that out of your mods list. You need to start with upper/lower rear control arms, and maybe a little more gear (not too much because of the sc) That'll get you a hell of a lot more time than an intake upgrade at your point in the game.

However, my buddy is running an edelbrock rpm2 intake with afr165's, and every bolt on in the planet, and a custom cam. He put down just shy of 325 at the wheels, and 12.1's

I already have the suspension stuff addressed. I left that out of the mods b/c it wouldn't fit in the signiture. Some of the items are:

sub-frame connectors, Hurst roll control, lowerd racing shocks, Ford Racing Lowering Springs - Super Sport, BBK Caster/Camber Plates, MAC Upper and Lower Control Arms, Precision Gears 3.73, 31 Spline Hardened Moser Axles, Eaton Posi, Mac Rear End Cover/Girdle, 5 Lug Conversion.

Right now I'm putting 476 rwhp to blacktop. It's the best of both worlds. It screams when I gun it, yet it idles a 750 rpms and I can lug thru stops signs in second gear. I've been told that my current intake is like a restrictor plate.

Edelbrock RPM2 or TFS track heat would work well with your setup. Not the GT40 because the GT40 has a smaller throttlebody opening.

The Holley is used in quite a few blower applications and I think it is a good choice also. Haven't seen any RPMII's used yet, but no reason to think it wouldn't work well.

A professional porting of that lower intake will make a difference that would please you too. Take a look around the photo section of my website ........

I've got an RPM II on my blower setup, switched to that from a GT40 and let me tell ya, over 3500 it pulled a hell of alot harder even when I ran it without the blower hooked up it felt alot better up top. also went from makin 10psi as soon as the converter flashed to only making 8 and then getting up to 10 right around 5500, that alone shows an improvement in airflow
