Entire intake system
Allright, I am doing this over winter so when I get to take her out in spring I can womp on a friend of a friends 95 GT he got that thinks it's the bomb, because the guy that had it before him put heads and a cam in it. So correct or add to this list of theres something I am missing to do my intake from air filter all the way down to my lower manifold...
Mass air meter kit, T.B. (75 mm?), EGR tube adaptor, intake adaptor, Pro products typhoon upper and lower manifold.
Mass air meter kit or fender well kit, i've heard many people claim that the fender kit is decieving and will add very, very little if any power to rear wheels. Can anyone let me know whats really the better of the 2?
T.B. I was thinking 75mm The bigger is for later mods so I don't have to keep changing everytime I do something new to it.
Adaptors so far i know I need. And the PP typhoon looks nice and I hear it performs just as well.
I'm thinking I need to do my injectors too, theres no reason to add more air when you can't supply the same amount of fuel. I don't know what size though.
If there are any aspects or parts of this that I am missing please fill me in. Thanks in advance

RE: Entire intake system
I think car for car were close but I know I am a better driver than him. It's the first real car he's had and he really just flat out has no idea how to drive the thing. And he truly has heads, Cam, underdrive pulley, x-pipe, flowmasters, 3.73's. But none of those are really much of a concern to me. He claims that he estimates it has about 330 RWHP, I simply chuckled. He drove his from Kansas where he bought it home, I drove mine for 2 months and i had it down the strip about 15 times. So I know my car much better than him, and as soon as theres a nice day out were going out and running.

RE: Entire intake system
Alright, well, I'd go with a fenderwell CAI (little bit of a h.p. gain and sounds awesome along with a full intake) and don't go with an Ebay one. I'd search around for a good used Pro-m MAF, a 75mm should work fine for yours (I am not biasing that just because I have one, I have heard more complaints about the C&Ls but they are alot cheaper). 70mm TB probably wouldn't hurt you since your flowing a little bit more air through that cobra. To finish it off, a pro products typhoon intake wouldn't be bad as long as you know how to port, other wise go with a edley performer or something similar, but once again your flowing a little bit more air than the average 5.0 so you may want to look into a trick flow or something of that sort. Hope that I helped.

RE: Entire intake system
if you plan on adding any power adders in the future upgrade your fuel pump.
if you are a cobra, you have 24# injectors and they should be good to at least 350hp.
there is nothing wrong with c&l mass air meters.
I have a bbk fenderwell cold air intake and a 73mm c&l maf, it works fine, and when I changed to 24# injectors it was cheaper to get the new sample tube than to buy a new maf, or get it reflashed.

RE: Entire intake system
Well, like I said, I have heard quite a few complaints about C&L MAF, not everyone but alot, and not one complaint about the Pro-m's, but I'm sure that people have had there problems with the pro-m's. The C&L definentally has a price advantage though, unless you get one used.
