Trickflow will outflow the Cobras hands down, now you can port the Cobras to flow just as well, or close to that of Trickflow, but porting takes a nice deal of time to do properly, or a little cash to pay somebody.

Man..I'd take my ported Cobra over the pancake griddle Trickflow intake anyday.
Those are some butt ugly intakes. [:'(]

I prefer the ported Gt40 myself. I never could get past most of the looks of the aftermarket intakes. After it's all said and done, a ported GT40 will run you about the same as a good aftermarket intake if you have to buy the GT40. Porting typically costs between 100-200 bucks and you can usually find a GT40 intake for around 200-300. Personally I like the power band of the GT40 as well. Nice low streetable rpm power band. You can basically design the GT40 around your setup through porting.

If you already have the trick flow and don't mind the looks stick with what you got. If you don't like it, there is always the option to sell. You'll probably get enough from it to pick up a nice used GT40 and have it ported as well.

Nothing wrong with a real Cobra intake, they will support a 302 just fine.

I agree that looks over performance is strange logic, yet many folks on here would gladly pay much more for a used GT-40 intake than an Explorer intake, which for all intents and purposes, is the same part.

even in a situation like that i would keep the trickflow because it flows just as good as the ported gt40. what kind of powerband are you wanting? the street heat is idle to 5500 the track heat is 1500-6500

i would perfer the track heat over any of the above for a complete street car
