I second these choices. I have The TFS street and I had the Gt-40. All 3 are much better over stock.

With stock untouched heads I wouldn't even bother with an intake. Spend the money on something you'll actually get something out of, like rear gears, .

Actually the stock lower intake is one of the most restrictive pieces in the engine - doing something about that will make a difference even with stock heads. But I think your choice depends on what else you're gonna do later. If you're not going to change heads and cam later, I'd contact tmoss (here or at corral) and install one of his ported stock lower intakes. The stock upper flows reasonably well; his port job on the stock lower results in an upper/lower that flows almost as well as the Cobra/Gt40/Explorer units for MUCH less money. He has plenty of dyno data on the results you can expect. Pm him for more info.
