RE: GT-40 Intake Manifold
I skimmed that article and what i wasn't exactly clear about was which GT40 manifold they were using. Apparently for the top tests they used the tublar, and then tested a Explorer GT40 manifold as well (whih supposedly) produced better numbers as well. Don't some people consider the Cobra (I'll always call it the cobra)manifold a GT40 as well, since it is very similar to Explorer.
How does theCobra manifold stack up, the same as theExplorer one they tested?
I did pull out an old mustang catalog from1999 I had which was very detailed, so I kept it. GT 40 Tublar'swere going for $629.XXthen, and advertised 24 HP gain over stock. That's pretty pricey for then, especially when looking at the other parts in the catalog. Iwish I had bough all my parts in 1999 b/c the price increases really seemed to hit on some of that stuff!

RE: GT-40 Intake Manifold
I have Trickflow track heat intake it flows ok but it is still a heavy intake. Its lighter than stock I think but I would like to get an Intake to flow the same or better that is lighter. Like BBK SSI. <--
