Default upper and lower Intakes ?

I have a 90 mustang Gt, with CIA and basic tune up that i did. i dont plan on heavily modifying the car. I want to buy a cobra upper and lower intake for the looks and performance. If my car is stock will it just bolt right on or not? will i have to change the heads? if so how much horse power will i get from cobra intake?

well ill just say what people are most likely going to say.

Which is, 'Don't go with the cobra intake, get the Trick Flow Track Heat. It's much better for about the same cost.'

Or the Edelbrock Performer RPM, don't go with the cobra intake, it may look cool and all, but it doesn't flow good...

yeah I read an article about the proffessional products on www.fordmuscle.com it is the same exact intake as the edelbrock performer rpm, just the european verison of it and you can get it already polished if your looking for that...

the edelbrock and trick flow come with a the lower intake. you could just buy the top intake but I don't think you would be able to notice a gain. And THEY should line up right...but call both places just to make sure!
