Cobra vs Trick Flow
Manifolds!!! Which is better for power gains? i have done intake headers and x pipe w/ high flow cats. worth doing the upper and lower intakes? I am also planning on throwin on a bigger throttle body if it would help. What kind of power gains should i expect? thanks all

RE: Cobra vs Trick Flow
Get a Trickflow street heat if you want idle to 5500 rpm power. Also get a 70mm throttle body with it... just make sure you get an egr spacer too...
If you want to build a high revving engine then I would suggest getting a Track heat, They are good for 2500-6500 rpms but personally i think thats a high rev to go to unless you have a new or built engine.
I'd just get the street heat and the 70MM throttle body. I'm installing my stuff tomorrow. I'll take plenty of pics!

RE: Cobra vs Trick Flow
Yea, gears are good. Get Some. Now to answer your question, you definetly want trickflow over the cobra. The cobra flows like a ported stock, and even a ported cobra isnt going to be anywhere near as good as a trickflow. I'd go with street heat, you dont need the high rev of the track heat or R-Series in a mostly stock car. Trickflow is one of the best manifolds, although i heard somewhere that the BBK SSI is slightly better. However the trickflow manifold will run you 400$ and the SSI will run you 650$. Good Luck

RE: Cobra vs Trick Flow
I'm goin with the trickflow street myself. I've heard tons of good things about it. Ebay has em brandnew for 400 $ and free shipping. Might even be able to find em cheaper. Good luck, let us know what you decided on.
