ORIGINAL: my77stang
the flow would be the same in iron or aluminum, its only the weight difference and heat transfer that makes a difference (and they look cooler)
The aluminum have better flow. The intake of the iron cobra is 1.84. The GT-40X has a 1.94 intake. Used to be a chart floating around here that broke this down better.

but they dont flow better because they are aluminum, they flow better because they have larger valves and probably an improved runner design.

i was just pointing out that being made of aluminum didnt make them flow better, cause thats how the post kinda sounded [8D]

Gotcha. Thought you were saying they were identical in design/flow andand only differ in weight.
