Also, what kit are you planning on using and how much boost you are planning on running?

Just depends on how aggressive you are going to get with it. If you are going with 10 lbs. or something in that area, just about any intake you run will be fine. I would stay away from an aluminum intake unless you are planning on running a good intercooler or planning on putting a carb intake with an elbow. A composite intake won't heat soak like an aluminum intake. Just a couple ideas for you. Let me know if we can help ya with anything!
