The examples I gave you take advantage of the heads flow, at those power levels a Cobra intke would be OK but for the cost differance I would move into something with a bit more going for it.

As far as the Combo you listed I don't know because I've never tried it and I only see lift and duration @.050 so it doesn't tell me that much. I'd bet money it would make much over 250 at the wheels. Every dyno is differant and air quality, altitude, temp can all twist the numbers up. But if thats the combo you were talking about that made 276hp at the wheels is I would have to see it to beleive it using untouched heads on a stock 5.0. I've seen stranger things and not much of anything surprizes me any more.
