Maybe it's just me, but it seems lek I can get all those parts for cheaper. I don't want that tuner anyway. Any other opinions?? 2500 seems high

Another question. I keep seeing this add for the K/N tat says 30 HP...any truth?
maybe 2hp for a K&N filter (if the stock one is dirty enough a gain will show). Maybe 5 HP for a K&N CAI. But intake and exhaust is always a good basis for other mods down the line.
not quite. i was there for an 03 with just catback being dyno'd. it put down 400RWHP and then they just dropped in a regular K&N filter. it dyno'd at 425RWHP.

It was doing 400 RWHP with just catback? Isn't the flywheel only rated at 390? That's a huge jump for a catback.

You got to remember that cobra's are underrated from ford. Since they are supercharged, they benefit better from regular mods like exhaust and intake.

Heavily underrated.

A lot of the 350/350 dyno sheets you see from Cobra's were with less than 4,000 miles. It seems like 6-8,000 miles seems to be the final break in point for the Cobra. Most will dyno anywhere from 380-400RWHP.

I've seen a K&N setup add 15-20RWHP. Intake mods on a blown car make a much more significant difference than a N/A car.

I realize that. I just didn't know they were so underrated. That's good news

If you look back at my dyno curve, the original 410 RWHP was Cat back only.

The JLT CAI got me from the 424 RWHP to 448 RWHP and from 458 RWTQ to 480 RWTQ
