Pstatic said:The cobra is designed to make a broad power band. It will choke power at the top a little compared to other freer flowing designs, but it also produces a whole lot of low end torque. It does this through its long runner design wich creates high port velocity. My NA combo used it with trick flow heads and a steeda #19 cam and it made 275 wheel hp. Now the peak numbers are less than others, but it made over 275 lbft of torque over a broad power band. I had to be bellow 2000 before it dropped bellow 240lbft at the wheels. A lot of people complain about HCI causing them to loose low end torque. My combo did not. Note though, the 275 at the wheels was at 5,500rpm so its not like the car did not rip all the way to red line, it just was down 10-15hp at the top to give me 10-15hp where I drive the car regularly, in the 2000-4000 range. I liked the cobra, it, like the #19 was a good compromise between street orientation and strip orientation.
all that power is from the Bassani headers and X and you know it!S/CBlack95GT said:I made 272rwhp with the stock cam at 5300rpms. Torque was 300 and pretty flat as well. IMO, the Ford intakes are the only intakes I would have on my car, even if they do put out lower numbers. I just cant stand the looks of the other aftermarket intakes.
I dont think i could ever justify not using an aftermarket piece that is proven to make more power just because its "Ugly". My edelbrock performer has been an awesome piece for me and has opened up my GT like no other mod i have done so far. I have always put down more HP and TQ than those with Cobra intakes. If your getting a good deal on it and dont have very big plans for ur car i would say get it, but if u have bigger plans i would just spend a little extra.S/CBlack95GT said:I made 272rwhp with the stock cam at 5300rpms.
