The stock intake is actually quite good as long as you do not have the type prone to cracking. No need to replace it unless you replace it with a s/c kit that includes a new intake.

You should think about a different mod in my opinion.

Unless you luck into a good deal on a Bullitt intake... Even then though there are a lot of supporting parts you will need.

I would do a lot of checking on the P51 before I buy one, I thought about getting one for my 98 but there are a LOT of mixed statements about it. Some people love it and others want to use it for a boat anchor.

i would go with the heads and cams first. check out the mph heads to while you are looking at them. i have heard some good stuff about them.

heads + cams will yield larger gains than the intake no doubt

fox lake will do a good job. i was out at their shop once, very nice setup. i however went with patriot stage 2 heads because they offered a lot more plus i didn't have to send them my cores. they have always been very friendly and helpful, i would highly reccomend patriot as well.

your gonna get a lot of people saying they had problems with them or whatever, this was probably about 3 years ago when they were new to the game. any issues they had have been addressed a long time ago, i run them on my car with no problems at all. fox lake is a very good company as well though. i just couldn't see myself spending 2k at fox lake for the same thing that i could get at patriot for close to 700 less.

i feel the same way about that....Plus if i buy the patriot heads then i can sell the ones i have on there and recoupe some of the money i put into them..only problem is that i have windsor PI heads on here now and the ones i want are romeo's luckily for me my NPI 98 GT had romeo heads with the RIGHT valve covers so I got lucky there...IM hoping to break 300 rwhp with this setup...
