Default Got myself a Bday present :) :)

So last night a put a deposit on a semi-polished upper and lower cobra intake for my car. And tonight Im goin to pick it up I think. I got it for a nice deal, $175 with intake gaskets, spacer, and throttle body gasket. So what kinda power differance should I expect with this intake? Whats the differance between the GT-40P and this intake?

Thanks Jay

semi-polished...its not liked the polished cobra intake, but its cleaned up and hand polished, so it doesnt have a crazy nice shine but its decent. Also it is hand ported as well. So what kinda power differance should I expect?

hand ported usuially is a nice way to sell to suckers, tends to hurt power

Whats wrong with "hand ported"? Would you prefer it to be foot ported?



You can hurt power "hand porting" your heads if you **** it up, but its hard to do that with an intake unless you get REAL carried away. Especially one like a GT-40 style intake.



Anyways, have fun with it. This ****s like crack.... youll be going back for more later!
