I know that my gt40 intake isn't the best but i like the look and i had it when i had a stock longblock with a wolverine cam and liked it alot. But now with my new setup will i notice a power increase say going to a trick flor or systemax?

Talk to whoever grinded your cam about which intake would work best. If they say to get rid of it, look into a systemax or an rpm II if it'll work with the cam. If your TW heads are ported right, all a gt40 intake will do is restrict you.

If the heads flow more than 260cfm, you need a different intake. Porting your lower can take you up to a 250-260cfm combo.

I'd consider a Victor EFI, ported TW's are all top end
