Your Cobra intake will have clearance issues with any valve covers that are taller than stock due to the EGR mounting point. As far as what intake you should use, that should be determined by your power goals and what RPM range in which you'll be operating.

Track or Street Heat intakes will work fine, any of the GT40 intakes will work great also. Just make sure the lower intake ports match the intake ports in the heads.
What intake are you using currently to clear the Trick Flow valve covers???

You would have two choices when it comes to clearing the valve covers... You can either go with a FOX TB conversion, or get an intake spacer. If you're going with the spacer, then you'll have hood clearnace issues unless you have a cowl hood.

Is the Performer RPMII too big for your 306?

Performer rpm if you can find one used. if not an rpmII. Use a 75mm tb and port match the inlet.

Run a Holley Systemax or a RPMII with a 75mm TB.

Stopsign beat me to it. I was going to say run the holley systemax. That intake kicks ass.

IMO the cobra/street heat will hold you back.

Unless u run the tfs-r or box intake....I wouldn't run the street or track heat.

Port match the intake to the heads.
