Default Throttlebody and inlet question.

What kind of gains can I expect out of a t/b and inlet on my 03 cobra? What is the best one to get?

With the both of them on a 99-04 GT, they add about 10-12RWHP. For the Cobra, I'd imagine about 12-15RWHP.

I have the book, ford horsepower on the dyno for 4.6 liter motors. They tested an accufab TB & inlet vs. the stock peice. It doesnt say what was done to the motor, but at the crank that mod picked up 7hp and 12ftlbs. The motor made 508hp and 532ftlbs total at the crank after that mod.

I read 7whp on a GT so the double for the zcobra still stands. I would get the C&L plenum with a BBK TB. I was going to say a 75mm BBK but am not sure what the Cobra's come with.

Yup, my bad. I got my info from the Throttle Body and Plenum Comparisons thread. I added the numbers from the torque and RWHP gains thinking it was the RWHP numbers from the Throttle body and plenum individually.
