You probably can get more peak power from a different intake, but whether or not that translates into a faster car, may be up to experimentation. If the car runs well now, and makes for a good street car, i wouldn't change it.

Well, I had the Trick Flow street series intake making 473rwhp at 7psi. I changed to the TFS R series and i can tell you is a 20hp to 25hp difference, the car revs faster. I think you will benefit if you change to it. The only bad thing is that when i got mine last month the Black finish upper and the Silver upper were on back order until late March, so i ended up with the Non-Powercoated one, and i am happy with it.

I wouldn't recommend the R intake for your set-up, especially if it's a street car. You might make a few more HP on the top end, but it won't be worth the amount of low end torque you will lose. The TFS R is really a high RPM intake, and is better suited on a stroker or a very high RPM motor. Just my opinion.

If I made a change to a TFS intake, it'd be a Track Heat.

O.K wait a minute, first of all, what kind of horsepower are you hitting at this time. A Track Heated intake might be what you are looking for and since you have a Super Charger don't go anything less than the Trick Heated one.

I'd get an intake with similar flow to the intake side of the heads.

If the GT40 is stock, getting the lower ported would improve things a lot.

Track Heat and Holley would work well too - I'd pick the Holley of those two..........
