The Eddy will flow slightly more but seeing as how your lower is gasket matched its a moot point
The eddy is also a pita to install. Stick with your explorer and open the tb port to match a larger tb if you have one. Fwiw I am running a ported explorer and it pulls just as hard if not harder than my old performer dud.

Yeap that's what I was thinking and my tb is ported to a 70mm just like the way the eddy looks I didn't think it would gain much wanted your guys thought though

I vote Cobra....simply because it's the "prettiest" of the bunch.
