Which Intakes would be good for my setup

Randy · Oct 19, 2013

I could use some advice on which upper and lower intake set up to use on my 95 GTS 302 . Currently it has the SVT cobra upper and lower... Engine has 65 mm throttle body. (soon to be 70 mm.). 77 mm pro m mass air meter. 1.7 cobra roller rockers. X-303 cam. TFS twisted alum heads. MSD billet dist. MSD ign coil.. MSD ignition. MSD timing retarder. 9 mil plug wires. Currently 24 lb injectors .. Thinking of going up to 30 LB.. Griffin 3 core alum radiator with Pro M ECU... Pulley set. NOS is currently not hooked up I was going to have system checked next week before I connect it .. I have only had the car 2 months and have not ran the NOS yet. Then was going to put in Upper and lower intake combo And the 70 mm throttle body and 30 lb injectors before I get a Tune...... I have 3.73 gears also inline and external fuel pumps ..And if it makes any difference Alum drive shaft w/ loop Mosier 31 spline rear end TK5 tranny Pro 5.0 short throw shifter. Weld on sub frame connectors. Eibach lowered BBK control arms Auburn pro limited slip differential.. I'm not sure of the Pistons or compression Ratio. The old owner does not remember what he did to them.. Thanks for any help Randy

Whats wrong with the cobra upper and lower? Those flow a hell of a lot more than the 5.0 upper/lower. You could upgrade to an edelbrock performer upper and lower, or even a trickflow upper and lower. [MENTION=17007]RichV[/MENTION] might be able to help you out, he's good with this stuff

The existing ones are worn looking . I'm cleaning up the engine bay. Replacing hoses, fuel rails and springs ect

I don't think you have a whole lot left on a N/A 5.0. Changing intakes won't really open up a whole lot IMO.

Tune, and go FI, then tune again. Or go with a 351/347 lower end.

the gains would be minimal for the price paid. You can always throw a coat of paint on the intake or take the easy way out and just rub it till the genie pops out.
