You will only gain like 30-40 horsepower with going to back to single port intakes.

There is no adapter for fitting an m90 on a splitport. The only way to fit it is to revert back to the singleport style, swap the heads/intakes,etc. There is an adapter for an m112, but not for the m90. If you do go through with it, you will gain around 20 hp, but about 80 lbft torque. Its up to you to decide if its worth it or not.

+1, just go to www.supersixmotorsports.com and buy the M-112 adaptor and then buy an M-112 supercharger (same as used on the 03/04 Cobra) and you'll be done, and with a lot less hassle.

Goto supersixmotorsports.com and buy his M112 intake adapter for $900 then get the M112 and other parts you need and slap it on. No changing heads there and you get to keep your lower manifold.

While the M90 only makes an extra 40-50hp the M112 makes 100-150 out of the box depening on the condition of your engine and supporting mods. Advertised gains were 10-15hp per 1psi. The system with stock pulleys is a 10psi system. When they were playing with the prototype they saw 17hp gains per 1psi.

The M112 is a much better swap, not to mention the adapter also allows for all those aftermarket SC's for the 03/04 cobra. So you could get a KB 2.2 SC if you wanted, but you should have the bottom end to support it
