I currently have a Cobra intake on my '91. Talking to a mechanic who owns a 5.0, he suggested I would benefit from swapping over to an Edelbrock Performer. Would this swap be worth it? Would I regain some low end torque? What about top end horses? Thanks.

According to the last issue of 5.0 mustang and the companion issue a couple of months earlier where they did the intake shoot out on a 302 and a 347 the GT40\cobra and the Edelbrock performer are very close in performance. THe GT40 has more low end torque, in fact equal with the stock intake, but the Edelbrock does a little better up top. If it's a daily driver I'd probably stick with the cobra.

I wouldn't waste the time or money swapping to the Eddy intake. If you go to the Anderson Ford Motorsports website under tech articles, you can see a comparison between the two. As stated by 18mustangs the results were very close.
Thanks, that's about what I thought. My other thing was, though I didn't mention this, was that I was thinking of going with Performer heads and figured the Performer intake would match them better. Minor details, huh?

Yes, an edelbrock performer would flow better and probally make more power but the current cobra isn't a bottleneck. If you want more flow getting the cobra lower ported would flow more than the performer.
