Default New Intake Installed

I swapped out my GT-40E for the real GT-40 upper today. Holy s**t, it made a difference! Throttle really came alive, and a lot more pull in 2nd and 3rd gears! Best mod I've done.

What the hell is the GT-40E? Is that the explorer one?

YEA YEA Hey Ty I am the MORE in your sig LOL. Seriously, Ty's car is flying, sideways in 2nd gear with stock gears. We were both grinning ear to ear. The intake made a huge difference and looks good also.

Have you had any edelbrock or trick flow intakes? If so how does the gt-40 compare to it?

The eldy and TF intake is in a completly different catagory then the cobra/gt-40 intake.There a much better performing intake plus there is so much left in them compared to the gt-40 with just a little bit of port work.
