The Weiand Stealth is a very entry-level intake manifold meant for a mostly stock engine. You'll be wasting your money on better heads with that intake. Sell that intake and take your entire planned combination into account. Even a set of Ebay Floo-Tek heads would be restricted by that intake.
If what you're after is good street manners, throttle response, and low-end torque, the Weiand Stealth paired with a set of stock or ported E7TE heads or a set of stock GT40/GT40P heads would be nice enough with a stock or mild cam and a 500-600cfm carburetor, if you're wanting more, especially something requiring upgrading to aluminum heads, it's just not the right intake for the job.
Looking for more h.p. without going to radical. Maybe 100 h.p. without spending a ton of money.What are your plans, daily driver, street strip.
Gear change, good headers, update the brakes, maybe subframe connectors, rebuild the suspension, that will eat up a budget and then you enjoy a spirited ride and by then you'll have learned more about what you want.
There are head cam intake kits that will wake up that ride but make sure it can handle upgrades in hp when making a plan.

http://mustangsandmore.com/ubb/BudgetSmallBlock.html This is pretty much what's under the EFI system on my car, good for 267rwhp when still running a carburetor.A N/A 302 north of 300hp..... plan to spend some money.
Weiand.Personally,...I think you should spell Weiand ( "say Wy-and" ) one more time just for good measure.
Crower too,....everybody trying to put an "L" in that one too.Weiand.
The other one that everyone butchers, and I don't get why, is Edelbrock.
There must be a significant difference between the injected version, and the carb'd version of that manifold then, because the carb'd version that I had on my 460 was good to 7000 RPM.
Car is pretty much stock all around.Holley/Weiand says they're good to 6000rpm.
I had one on a 400ci Chevy with a 750cfm Edelbrock carb, Flowtech headers, a mild cam, and decent iron heads, and it pretty much fell on it's ass at 5500rpm (could've been the heads, they were stock, but one of the better Chevy castings, can't remember which, I parted that truck out seven years ago), though it pulled like you wouldn't believe to that point and was damned good for towing in the old farm truck it was in.
thanks . i am by no means a mechanic. But i think alot people on these forumns have no ideal what they are tslking about.I have a buddy with a stock bottom end, aluminum world products windsor sr heads, weiand stealth, holley 600 and long tubes. It hauls ass. Very strong car, it pulls like mad to 6000 and actually has more low end torque than my turbo car has... until the boost comes on. His car is a hoot. Reminds me of my highschool days in the 80s when you'd hear vacuum secondaries open, followed by the smell of tire smoke. Don't be afraid of that intake. It'll do just fine.
