Hey guys! This is my first post... I have a 1997 Cobra with BBK long tube headers, an off-road Mac Prochamber, Flowmaster 40 Series cat-back, MSD coils, and a K&N cold air intake. I had the car dynoed last year and it put down 308 hp and 302 lb/ft of torque. I am looking to get a 65mm BBK twin blade throttle body and a C&L intake elbow. Does anybody know what kind of power increase I could see from these modifications?

Welcome to the forums.

well i don't think either of those mods will net you anymore than 1whp lol, the TB MIGHT help out on throttle response but i wouldn't bet on it. I say go gears, 4.10s to be exact.

And those numbers are impressive, you either have a freak or that dyno was dynoing high

Actually the C&L + MAF is supposed to net nice gains. I don't know how they could BS it but C&L have a dyno sheet of a 96-98 cobra gaining a nice bit of power with the MAF and inlet tube, That's what I have on my 4v

I had it tuned and dynoed at fuel injection specialties in san antonio and they were able to bring out about another 25hp... the engine was recently rebuilt and had 30,000 miles at the time of the dyno.

forged internals???

Sadly, the '96-'98 Cobra's only came with a forged steel crank.
I was told, to keep the RWHP under 500 with the SC.

I got the forged internals from the 03-04 cobra terminator engine w/ 10.5:1 pistons. I plan to keep this car NA because you don't see many high power NA four valves. Next big upgrade will be heads and cams... whats the best head/cam combination? I've heard that the fr500 heads are pretty good. It's hard to find heads for the four valves tho... any suggestions?
