favorite 4bbl slant intake

Not so. It will be fine. It's all in the combo.
I'm still debating what gears and tire size to go with. I'm going with a Ford 8.8, so my gear selection is vast with that. Right now my rear end has 3.73 limited slip.

The rear end kinda locks me into BBP, but I'm thinking 14.... like P195/70/R14 on steel wheels with dog dishes

Also this is a 4 speed car, of course.
