Help me choose an intake!

Drick · December 9th, 2008, 01:46 AM

For my 342 stroker. I found 3 intakes and im gonna buy one all used btw

1.Holley systemax. 450 shipped
2.Edelbrock preformer. 300 shipped
3.93 Cobra intake 150 shipped

Im leaning towards the Cobra just cause I could get it ported and it would flow pretty good.

Too general of a question.....

u can tell that to people when they ask why your running 12's with your stroker.

Drick · December 9th, 2008, 03:03 AM

I would be happy with 12s lol what kind of power can I make from it?

93hatch · December 9th, 2008, 05:34 AM

nooooooooo dont get the cobra, im on a 302 and looking to upgrade my intake and heads already

Vamp89 · December 9th, 2008, 07:24 AM

I'd say TrickFlow R or Box intake.

grnstang · December 9th, 2008, 09:59 AM

do it right the first time...trick flow R, edelbrock rpm II, or holley systemax..maybe. It depends on what kind of RPM range the rest of the motor likes. You have to match everything so it all works perfect together

93hatch · December 9th, 2008, 01:14 PM

fuck this makes me want to get my lower ported

Sleeper_Stang_89 · December 9th, 2008, 01:19 PM

the systemax intakes are good intakes... with your 342ci stroker why dont you just use a Vic Jr and a power elbow with a good throttle body and MAF... make some real power... That is of course if you have good heads... what heads are you running?

TKOTLARZ · December 9th, 2008, 02:55 PM
