Bought a gt40 intake today on eBay and I'm going to send the lower to Tom moss for porting. The upper is hydro washed with cobras on it. I can't decide if its cool or as ugly as homemade sin. It's different anyways. I'm hopping it "wows" me in person. I'm going to use it with the tfs 170's I'm about to purchase

imho your decided combo is just right. that is the combo im collecting for.
tfs 170, 93 cobra intake, custom cam. did you decide 58 or 61 cc

intake may look cool in person if not you can polish it or paint it...

Haven't bought the heads but I think I'm going with the 61, they seem to be more user friendly if that makes any since. Tom moss says he can port the lower intake so it flows about 250 cfm so I'm gonna give em a shot. He did my HO lower and it picked up about 20 hp to the wheel so I guess he does ok.

True. A "Canadian" would have known the difference between the two.

My advice. Before you spend any more money, call Ed Curtis @ TFI. Do it right the first time and be done with it.
