Box style upper intake

[xr8d302]

Advantages? Disadvantages?

Looking at one and wondering if it would perform equal to or better than a Cobra upper?

bump lol really would like some expertise on this

i think i works better with high HP motors and best with forced induction ie: super charges, turbo.

simple h/c/i wouldn't be ideal.

from what i hear, it will kill your low-end power.....

thats why the stockers have such a long runner style

alot of people with blowers, etc run them because they generally offer better flow at high rpms. boost!

Usaully used for race or forced induction applications.

Haha one mod leads to the next... this project is getting more exciting by the day

 

[xr8d302]

Ah well, it'll get done....more time to clean up the engine bay

 

[95Mustang302]

Even with boosted app's they are not the number one choice. They tend to shift the h/p and torque curve so high that unless your running a built aftermarket block (and have a combo that rev's to the moon), the design will actually be detrimental in regards to useable h/p and torque.
