Mechanically, the intake, cam, heads, rockers, injectors, MAF and computer are different.

Intake wont do anything for a stock motor, you'll need heads to compliment it, and a cam to compliment both. HCI go all together, you'll loose low end torque if you get an intake without the other things. And for the time and effort you'd put into the motor making it a cobra motor you'd be way better off geting better parts, like better flowing heads than gt40, or atleast gt40 with a better cam and a better intake, and ofcourse the supporting mods like exhaust, tb, larger maf, etc.....

The MAF is the same there bud.... However, the front and rear sway bars are different... so are the brakes

makes more sense imo to just build up the engine to meet your specs...

if your only concern is Horse power, then cloning the engine of a cobra isnt' going to get you the most power, modding it out will...

if you want to have a cobra look a like motor, then yah, go for it, doesn't make much sense to me though if you aren't going to make the outside changes to get it there...

The Cobra's is 70mm and calibrated for 24# injectors. How do you figure?

actually... the MAF is exactly the same between the Cobra and GT, the "calibration" is actually in the J4J1 cobra specific computer!
