Intake Suggestions?

While putting everyting back together I'm wondering if the stock intake is going to be a good choice or not. Stock 390 with a comp 268h kit, headers and a 4bl holley. obviously i would save a ton of weight, but what about usable performance. this is a 2wd dd, not a hot rod, thanks

For your application the stock heavy iron intake will be fine, just as long as you don't have to keep lifting it over the fenders and engine too often. An OEM style aluminum would be a better chioce and a real back saver though.

the c4's 4bbl is a great torque intake, but others will do fine. The "s" isn't better than a "T" other than resale value.
