Hey guys ive been looking around for a cheap good power gain. I just need like 3 or 4 more mph in the 1/4 to get in the 12's. Ive been searching but couldnt find anything for 5.0's are the typhoon intakes good? Are they worth it? Blue oval has it for 280. I heard it will work pretty good up top with my bcam, better then a cobra intake would. Any other suggestions? Thanks.
I love mine, although I'm taking it off in favor of a ported Cobra. Doing that for looks and low-end response - not overall performance.
hmm yea thanks, Ive been reading around and i guess its better to get the heads then match the intake too it, but i cant afford heads. I guess my question is new cobra intake or new typhoon intake? Or should I talk to tmoss on porting my stock lower? I just need to know whitch will give the best gain for 2-4mph in the 1/4 mile, thanks.

With stock heads, I thought the Typhoon was too much intake. I felt a lot of low-end tq loss, once I got to higher rpms my car would pull very hard. I kept it because I knew I would be getting aftermarket heads.
yea heads will definatly be in the future, I just dont know how long in the future, i want to run 12's before the heads. All i need is about 2mph from an intake

Getting a Typhoon is a much better investment than porting a H.O. manifold. I used a Typhoon with a stock longblock then with TFS heads/cam, both with great results.

That'd save me some trouble, lol. It's much shinier than any one you can buy out of the box, if you can believe that

My mom says thanks for the pearl necklace.
I like it though I might opt for a set of GT40's and a Tmoss lower, by doing that I'm sure you'll be VERY pleased with the power vs cost.

so are you guys talking a typhoon upper with a stock lower done by tmoss, or the typhoon lower done by tmoss?

Forget the porting, if a typhoon is too small you need to step up to a Victor 5.0 or TFS RQUICK91LX said:so are you guys talking a typhoon upper with a stock lower done by tmoss, or the typhoon lower done by tmoss?
He's saying get a pair of GT40 heads, and match them to a stock lower ported by TMoss.
The runners on a stock intake are shaped differently than the Typhoon, so that wouldn't work easily at all

I will be sending my Typhoon lower to Tmoss, I think a ported lower with my heads/cam will work wonders.
typhoon should help you some. But after that, the stock heads will be choking your engine bad....
i have heard lots of good stories on the typhoon, good price and the little clean-up with a diegrinder is easy as pie. BAM u got a eddy performer for half the price.
then after that some heads are next i would say, some gt-40s would work great. or talk to thumper about ported e7s.
I found a good deal on some thumpers and one of my stock lowers is with tmoss right now. I am going the ported stock route, tmoss lower, i will gasket match the upper and thumper e7s along with a b-cam advanced 4degress.... hopefully it will be strong and have a more street-friendly powerband, wont be some highrevving monster. wont have to get the revs up to make power...
