hey guys Ive been out of the mustang game for awhile, currently I am running a cobra intake, 24lb inj, 274hr cam, tw 170's, power pipe, 80mm pro m meter, 1 3/4 lt headers. Do you guys think its worth the extra penny to get a cnc port (190 or 205) or should I gasket match port the heads? I recently ordered a holley systemax intake II as well since I know the cobra intake is choking the power a little bit. I had it dynoed when i was in high school but the combo was pretty weak, on the dynojet it made 326rwhp and 376rwtq. It consisted of cobra intake, 19lb inj, e-cam, 1 5/8 headers, chokemasters, bbk cold air, tw 170's, and thats all i could remember. Do think after installing the holley intake and porting the heads will get me close to 380-400 rwhp ? I did some research as well but only saw a few combos.

get rid of the intake for something like a trickflow R, me and nik both run them and I love them. (nevermind) cnc is the way to go, or sell them and get some 205's or 210's. headflow=powA!

The systemax is a great intake, ship them bad boys to TEA. I think the cam will be the next restriction.
