what kind of intake would best suit my needs??

a small block with a set of Brodix Trac I's and a decent size turbo..
basically Steve has me set on a Mini-Ram,but after seeing some of the setups you guys have here,Im wondering if theres something out there that would equally sit me,as well as possibly cost less...
Any ideas guys?

Mini-Ram and the LT1 intake are esentially the same... and the LT1 costs a lot less. There is also the new Holley intake.

The new holley intake looks like it is going to be the cat's meow. From what I have seen it gives the grunt of a superram and the top end of a miniram. I just wish it fit under the hood of my vette w/o modification to the hood.

Oh it has to. It won't clear a vette by about 3/4", and the F-body has a lot more space than that damn cramped compartment.

Sorry to sound stupid, but by Holley Intake, do you mean the intake manifold? Again, sorry if this is too dumb. But thanks,
