    My stock 350 intake is leaking. I'll be darn-didly-arned if I'm gonna put that big cast iron beast back on. I'm gonna put an add in the parts wanted section for one soon. So which one do I want? Anyone bolt one on with positve results? Poston????? T/A?????

    I have a T/A, although I did a bunch of other mods at the same time, so I don't know about results.

    From previous posts my impression is the Poston one isn't up to par.

    I have a poston intake that I scored for dirt cheap. I have incresed power from 3000 up, but throttle response seems a little soft versus stock intake. If I were paying full price I would have gone with a TA but for $75 I'm not gonna complain. That thing is a tank to move arond by yourself. Thank god for the air cleaner support bracket.

    I run the TA intake. I like the response it gives.

    i have the t/a also. it seems to pull a lot harder then stock. but have nothing else to compair it to. i was gonna go with poston but a bunch of people on the board talked me out of it. does anyone know much about poston headers?

    Dan,
    I can speak from experience with both the poston and the TA intake for the 350.
    I had Postons first,then by suggestions from Scotty at PeeGee performance,when he rebuilt the motor I switched to TA's,This was back in '94,,
    I believe your better off with the TA intake,and from what Ive learned,heard,seen by other 350 owners TA is the way to go,you won't be disappointed:Smarty:

    edelbrock intake

    Is the edelbrock intake worth its salt? I'm preparing to dump the stock intake as well!
