typhoon is overkill for thumper heads your better off with a tmoss ported lower and stock.

Anythings better than the stock intake. I used a Typhoon on my stock long block and it opened up the top-end breathing significantly. This month in HOT ROD they did a 5.0 buildup and a RPM II was worth about 20hp over the H.O. intake with (stock) E7 heads, so the Typhoon will be worth about the same HP. And dont waste your time with the B cam its WAAAAAAYYYY outdated!

Theres been dyno proven results where a stock ported lower makes more overall power then a cobra intake on ported e7s.. The cobra has a bit higher peak hp number in the upper rpms but the powerband is fatter with a tmoss ported lower.

Cobra intakes are pretty cheap, especially if you look for a used one. It will be considerably better than stock, and will match other combos better over the ported stocker if you ever upgrade from ported e7's.

Sure there are better cams out there....but you can still make a lot of power with a B303.

The B cam is a good little cam and I really like mine. That being said as soon as I can I'm getting a TFS stage 1 as it makes more power, has better driveability, and gets better gas mileage than the B303 (I've witnessed this on my brother's car). If the motor isn't in the car yet I'd recommend looking at the TFS cams, but you'll like the B cam. I personally like the Edelbrock over the Typhoon as the workmanship that I've seen on a friend's Typhoon looked a bit rough. If you go with the GT40\Explorer\Early non-chinese Cobra or the Edelbrock I think you'll be happy.

so you have a ford b cam. ford e7's that are ported, why not go with a ford racing cobra manifold? or a tmoss ported lower? you can get the cobra manifold used for around 250 or the tmoss for 130.
