i have really good luck when small cubes are used... I take the factory E7TE heads and give 1.90-1.60 valves and port them, although by the time you are done with valves, port work, stud conversion, you have 1000$ invested, so for a street car i would go with the edelbeock performer rpm set up, heads and intake, i have used that set up for both carbed and efi, with great results... And I tell people to really be carefull about the efi stuff, to big of a intake set up will kill your bottom end power.

Yeah thats what i was saying earlier in the post...i said that i heard the systemax was bad for N/A cars. The person who told me that said that probably becuase its so big...

Not exactly sure of the numbers i'm churnin, but I am running ported GT40 iron heads, an explorer intake with a ported lower, 65mm TB, a b-cam, 24lb injectors, cobra ecm, and cobra maf. And my car feels strong as hell. I am very pleased. Now if I could just get some traction.

I run a N/A car and I swear by the systemax intake. The only intake that I believe is to big (out of the box) for what you are doing is the Spyder intake. For an EFI car.

It doesn't matter if you are running a power adder or N/A. It depends on how much air you are pulling through your intake and heads. A N/A car can run just as big of an intake, but you have to rev the car higher to pull enough air. So you would need more gear and if you're running auto a higher stall convertor to get your RPM's where you need them, and then the bigger intake will not hurt your bottom end.

If you are going with a good (out of the box) head like trickflow or AFR I would run the systemax intake.

I agree,if I were you I would go with the systemax and T/F OR AFR's

Trick flow twisted wedge heads, gt-40 intake with 1 inch phenolic spacer, trick flow stage 1 cam. Stock bottom end. Thats what i got now and it runs good for me anyway.

To a point. Most of the Mail order intakes are not too big for a 302. When I swiched from a Cobra intake to my TF Track Heat, I didnt loose much at all.
