I have decided to go with this Intake because eventually I want to get everything included in the package, and down the line I am going to throw a supercharger in it. I have heard alot of good things about this kit, let me know what you guys think!

That is a nice intake but it is going to hurt you a bit until you get the blower. Especially with stock heads. The systemax is a great intake though. Also, if you plan on getting the rest of the stuff in that package, you should think twice about the cam. I've heard some pretty negative feedback on the Holley camshaft. There's much better cams out there.

Well unless they changed the cam that comes with the systemax kit, i've heard it's no good.

if you want the systemax intake, go with some twisted wedge heads and a trick flow stage 1 or 2 cam...

Which aspects of the cam profiles makes the TFS Stage 1 better than the Lunati-51027? other than the cost difference.

well ive heard people complain about the lunati cam in the package but never heard bad stuff about the trickflow....maybe even a custom grind would work.
