RE: Cobra intake manifold...get one?
let me show you something
this is my old lower intake with my ports not matching. (i know it's not the heads but try to figure out what i mean)
see how that restricts air? it will work. but you will never use the intake to it's full potential
the heads are a lot worse

RE: Cobra intake manifold...get one?
so i would just have to port match....I will have to figure out the gasket I matched to already and see if it will work. What gasket do you run with that intake?

yeah just port out your heads to GT40 ports and you'll be fine. as for gaskets I'm not sure.

a simple port match would work but keep in mind its not much better than the factory intake. you may see 6hp gain by going with the cobra intake over a factory intake. they took the factory upper plenium and enlarged it a bit and threw it on a gt40 base for the 93 cobra. its worth 200 but dont expect miracles.

RE: Cobra intake manifold...get one?
I think I am going to pass on it....how about a trick flow? Any problems with those? Maybe I will stay stock, it runs good, but I heard that after porting or new heads, you wont notice any big changes with the stock intake and throttle body(I picked up 5mph and .5 tenths off my ET from porting)

RE: Cobra intake manifold...get one?
Is that the one for like $400? I have a stick. I don't know.....I don't think I will be happy either way...I got a lot from my porting, just want a little more, then a little more, then a little more.....I should just stop on this one now
