i havnt used the other ones. so i voted for the gt40. the lower intake is the same as the lower on the cobra. numbers are the same. what kind of car are you planning on putting this on? the bbk ssi wont fit under the sn95 hood. and the cobra cost alot of money. cobra and gt40 are about the same. i think the cobra flows a little better top end. ssi is for foxs only unless you get a 2 inch cowl hood or ect.

ok then the BBK would fit. you still have to buy a throttle body adapter. which are around 60-100$. so add that into the factor also.

BBK has awesome dyno numbers as well I think they are the best looking product on the market!

I would go with GT-40 you will probably get the most power gain.

Get the GT-40, it has almost exactly the same top end power, but has much better low end than any other manifold. I have a Cobra intake now, but just bought a GT-40 upper off Corall.net, and can't wait to get it. It's tubular, and I think it looks about as good as the BBK unit. You won't be disappointed in it. Let us know what you decide. When I installed my Cobra intake, I noticed a difference, and expect to again with the GT-40.

the bbk, its different than everyone else is running. look agressive, and from what i have read produce some decent numbers, although i think it would be the most expensive option.
