Default Cobra Intake?

So I purchased a Cobra intake for my 93 and before I install it I just want to make sure I got the right intake for my application. I'm planning on heads, cam, rockers, MAF, Throtle body, Long tubes with catted h-pipe and 2 1/2 inch system, pulleys..all the bolt ons. I'm allready geared 3:73 with an msd blaster coil and pro 5.0. Would I be better off selling the cobra intake and going with an edelbrock or street heat? Or will the cobra be enough for me?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Evan.

I'm using a ported Cobra upper and lower, and it's working well for me so far.

How much power do you have now and how much are you seeking?

But to answer your question will it be enough...here is a shot of my engine bay and my dyno sheet:





keep in mind that I haven't received my Chip and Tune yet, which should give me 475rwhp...with 11lbs of boost.

Beautiful set up there, i was a little upset with the performance i got out of my vortech supercharger with the 302, i only got 420rwhp, how are you getting the 475 with one extra pound of boost??

Well if money wasnt an option i would have gone for the GT40 tubular intake.
It flows the best, can flow more air then u need.

ps great looking engine bay!

the tube gt40 intake doesn't really flow much better at all.it costs so much cause its hard to make and costly. any aftermarket intake out there is gonna flow better than the oval port gt40 style intakes.also i think its only good for like 295hp

The dyno run you see was prior the Anderson Powerpipe and 1.72 rocker installations, all with a backyard tune. I will be switching to a 9lb pulley, making it 11lbs with the pipe. Mustang Magic in Deer Park, NY will be performing the Dyno Chip and Tune. They practically guarantee at least 475 rwhp. We shall see.

Don't know what I have right now as far as power? Current Mods are as follows....

MSD Blaster coil
3:73 gears
Pro 5.0 shifter

As far as what I'm seeking, I just want a fast street/ strip car. I plan on doing all the bolt on's, full exhaust, heads, with no power adders. I just wanna make sure I don't have to buy another intake.
