im also looking at intakes, so i gotta ? about the track heat. would it hurt performance on stock heads? i dont wanna loose power because of not having heads. of course id get some, just not right away.

I'd go with TFS. I don't know much about PP but it seems a lot of their products are knock-offs

I was told you would lose power down low with the trackheat, even on a mild h/c/i combo. It has the same lower as the street heat. You could purchase the track heat upper later if needed. I've seen people make great power with the street and not lose all thier low end.

I just bought 4.10s and a street heat, the intake is going in not this weekend but the next.

The TFS pieces look top notch in the box and frankly its making me drool. The install instructions are a little sparse but who cares there are TONS of walk throughs on this site and the web.

Also, I personally prefer the powerband from idle to 5500 as opposed to 1500-6500. AND like was mentioned, you can always swap uppers if you feel you need it.

go with tfs I have yet to hear a complaint about their intakes

holley systemax

if you go tfs, dont do the track heat. with all the people that i have heard go from the street heat to the track heat they actually perform worse than the street heat. there just isnt enough power to get the car moving until up top with that intake .

--and that is even with aftermarket heads. with stock heads your cars gonna feel like it has absolutely no torque.

I don't think stock heads will flow close to enough air to make use of the holley intake. It's a good piece but without serious supporting mods he'll be in trouble.

Gears will help in your winter driving too... It makes it more predictable as when the tires break loose (and they will) they are not as apt to spin to ungodly speeds...

I have the Typhoon intake, it is a cheap manifold that has the potential to be great but I had to spend about 4 hrs. gasket matching and smoothing out the casting flash
