My question pertains to an intake swap i made, i used to have the cobra intake and then i changed to a trick flow track heat. I have edelbrock performer heads, with a f303 cam, oh and its an automatic. I do realize the f cam is too big for my combo which i am planning on getting a custom fti eventually. I was able to do a best of 13.7 with a 104 trap speed, off of the cobra intake, which i though was pretty good for what little tuning i had done to it. Since the intake swap , which i had done because i thought it would be more for the cam's power range, i had gone back to the track and all i have been able to get are some sh1ty times. My best so far has been a 13.8 @ 97. I also upgraded the fuel system( aeromotive competition kit), and i had attributed my power loss to this but now i am starting to think its the intake. My 60 ft times are not the greatest about 2.2 sec, which i had gotten before so i know im still the same off the line, however it doesnt seem quite as torquey as before. Am i alright with the trick flow intake, or should i go back to the cobra, i wouldn't think the intake is too big for what i have but maybe i am wrong.
 
im running edelbrock performer heads with 1.94 valves, 6037, i was apprehensive when i bought the intake because, i figured with the type of cam i was running which has more top end, i would need the extra airflow, however if i am running these type of heads then there would be no need for this sort of intake, i am better off at switching it back to the cobra am i right?
