Gt40 or trickflow intake with a quicktime turbo setup, which one do you guys think I should run? If anybody has a pic of a quicktime kit with gt40 would you post some pics.

I wouldnt run a GT40. They are designed to make low end and stop making power around 5400 rpm. The trick flow would be better for a turbo especially. I would run a track heat since they make a ton of power to 6000rpm and still make some of the best low end power I have seen. I have a black one with less than 500 miles if you are interested.

GT-40 is all that is needed.

The stock mustang heads flow very poorly, all that an intake with too big of a cross section will do is limit your potential torque output.
This is not as big of an issue on turbo cars as n/a cars, but it still makes a difference.

If you plan on stepping up to larger heads in the not to distant future going with a larger intake now (any of the TF series) could be a real cost saver though.

I like the looks of the gt40 much better, the difference between the 2 should not be to noticable with a stock motor and a quicktime turbo kit?

It really is not going to matter what intake you run. You are over looking the fact that you have boost. No matter what both will make good power.

If you do plan on changing heads later on I would look into a rpm 2 or a system max.

A bigger plenum helps with forced induction, depends on port alignment. Assuming you would have that sorted the TFS ...
