You see U/L intakes categorized by their operating range. Some say idle-6,000 some 1,500-6,500. Now when im racing or just driving around I generally am above 1,500, well when i need the power to be there im above 1,500. So would getting an intake that has a range of 1,500-6,500 be better than getting one that says idle-6,000?

some say idle to 5500 and others are 1500 to 6500

no you would actually hurt some performance with a 1500 to 6500 intake if motor isnt setup for that range

street cars like the 1500 to 5500 intakes
track cars like the 1500 to 6500 intakes
all out drag cars sometimes take 2500 t0 7500 intakes

Alot of them that are listed at 1,500-6,500 say street/track. You think I will really be better off to get one that says idle-5,500?

Quik

depends on how the car is used. each person/car/setup is different but rule of thumb street car like street intakes

My driving is about 3 days a week under normal driving, during the summer anyhow. And I will be taking it to the strip a few times a year, at least twice probably more though. Are there some other factors your talking about?

Quik

youll be fine with a 5500 intake

The most important thing u need to consider is the rest of your set up. find the specs of ur cam and see when the cam peaks out. if ur cam peaks out around 5400 like mine, then the idle to 5500 intake is for u. if ur cam peaks out at 6400 then the other intake is better. heres a story for u. some f@ggot kid with a 95 5.0 wanted to race me for 100 dollars. i have done what it says in my signature and he has cam, intake, tb, and some other stuff... he has more aftermarket products but they dont match each other at all. to make a long story short, i beat him wit a more stock car and walked away wit the money. a little research will go a long way.

and yes not all f@gs drive imports. some drive stangs too

Allright so with that you know where I can find out what a 1994 Cobra came stock with for a cam?

Quik

your cam is weak. its almost equilant to the explorer cam. but with the 1.7s you ahve youre lift is around .478 so like i said go with a 5500 intake

Allright but what if I am going to be doing my cam just a few months from now? I was recommended to get the Ford Racing X303 cam.
