For your mods the cobra intake is better. When you need way more air flow, then use the typhoon. Both look good polished

One other thing in the staging lanes at the track or in town at stop lights my car runs so hot, if i turn the ac on it lets it stay cool but that would make me loose HP witch sucks but i run faster when the ac is on cause of the 2nd fan i am gessing, how can i retrip that switch so i dont have to use the AC to keep that fan on... thanks guys

2nd fan? We only have one. There is a DIY fan switch in the FAQ section. You might want to get a 180* tstat if your running hot.

For a stock car the typhoon is to much it's a replica of the e-brock RPM and on a stock motor the cobra would be more beneficial seeing as how the cobra will work better in the lower rpms where it’s needed compared to the typhoon.

That's too much bro, it's going to put your car in constant cool-down mode

Here's what I believe happends when you put a tstat that cold. The tstat will alway open to soon not allowing the coolant time to cool of in the radiator. I went with a 180* stat that allows the coolant more time to be cooled off in the radiator. Just a thought.

Exactly why 160 is too much, very well said wytstang

A chip in a stock car your wasting $$. Chips are used to bring major mods together aka work in harmony to bring out the best in your combo. Save up for some 3.73 gears that will really help your car get up and go. Do a search for gears and you will see what I mean.

Our Cobras like bigger MAF's...You can do one of those. Like was mentioned b4 the 160 stat's not a good idea. A cooler t-stat'll just open sooner, I remember hearing that our computers control our fans so I'd look into that to cool it off and have it come on sooner. Your fan could be on the way out too...I just went through that on mine. With all the normal cooling componets and a Fluidyne mine runs a bit past the "N" on the gauge in our AZ weather. Also make sure your lip under the bumper's still in tact as that helps direct the air to the rad. A chip's a waste at your cars current level. Gears were a decent mod in my Cobra...I went with the 3.73's...good luck with her.

IMO the Typhoon intakes are a piece of ****. Look at the machine work on them and the flashing etc. Toss that on ebay or in the trash.

Yes there're people here that use them with no problems. I just rather use the 180* tstat for the reasons I explained before they're no harm in trying it.

There are a few of us using these...Mine with a blower and it's fine.

Having said that tho, I personally LOVE the Cobra Intake, and when ported can make tons of power. I also love the finish when theyre polished and have a black/red colored plate.
