I have a SystemMax with boost. Works good with my combo. It's the only intake I've had on it so I can't compare. The Systemax is big, probably bigger in overall height than the Trickflow. If you have anything larger than stock sized valve covers, you will most likely need a spacer between the upper and lower. Holley doesn't make a spacer and I've read about issues with the ears breaking off when used with spacers but they are around and people use them. Another issue is I have Prothane motor mounts which are larger than stock and puts my TB about a 1/4 inch from hitting the hood, the metal elbow vac line on the top of the TB did hit. Smaller or stock height mounts would prevent that.
