the gt-40 (real one) is the best i think. mostly cuz it's tubular aluminum. looks best and dissipates heat better than the cast aluminum of the other's, but only the lower can be ported.

the cobra is a mass produced gt40 , flows about the same, but you have the ability to port the upper as well as the lower, to be able to support an ez 450-500 hp.

the explorer , or what your calling gt40 p, i don't even like. it looks too stockish , and needs some minor modding to be a direct swap.
although it can too, be ported (upper and lower)

to most people cost is an issue, and in order of most to least expensive is real 40, cobra, explorer.

just my $.02

LoL I dont think that you are smoking crack. I dont believe that its just the GT-40 headers but I know that you are limited w/ your options.
