Intake for AFR 165's?

[FoxBodyGT]

Car will be mainly driven on the street with an occasional jaunt down the 1320. By occasional I mean twice a month or so. With the tracks around here, that equates to 6 runs or so.

Anyway, old setup was cobra intake, GT40's, stock cam, 1.6's, 70mm Tb.


I know a performer rpm may better fit, but what about getting the cobra lower ported? Not sure on what cam I will use as I am SD, now. I should probably upgrade to mass air and get a decent cam.

Suggestions?

Upgrade to a 80mm MAF, 24-30# inj, Performer intake, custom cam..go 11's

You could hit 11's with traction/steep gear/good driving.

I have the Performer (the RPM has the same lower as well) for my daily driver...with a custom cam from flowtech induction...the car drives awesome

I would get a 80mm Pro-M MAF and your going to want to get a bigger fuel pump (min. of 155lph and max. of 255lph fuel pump) and of course the bigger injectors (24's would be fine)...and you should be good to go...

Depends on how "Street" your talking.

I'd suggest the Performer since the ports are better aligned with the AFR's.
Aside from that the cam thing kinda falls on you as to ... what do you want it to run.

i had tmoss port the lower on my cobra intake to match the AFR's and seems to be a pretty good match and cheeper than buying another intake, i'll find out tomarrow, taking it to the dyno

Post your dyno numbers here.

listen to Rick.

my Cobra is on the way out....

 

[FoxBodyGT]

I got an offer to trade my cobra intake for a track heat--good idea?

 

[Rick 91GT]

Cam the car properly and you shouldn't have any issues...

It depends on the RPM useage. If you intend to stay well under 6 grand then there is no point inbuying a manifold that flow to 7 grand. I recommend that you pick a cam first and then choose a manifold to match the cam's intended RPM. There's an awful lot of over-manifolding going on and the smaller manifolds work just as well if not better when matched to the other components.

What he said



but, the Performer is not a "too big" intake. It just isn't any better unless you get the combo to make it better.

Please do...........

That cam is on the mild side, but I bet it still makes good power if the tune is good.

RPMII or holley systemax

 

[fiveohh94gt]

my setup with the ported cobra lower made 280rwhp and 319ft/lbs with stock MAF and throttle body, easily 300hp and a few more torque when i upgrade those two things. hit 300ft/lbs at 3000RPMs and stayed above it until just before 5000

To big...no need for those big flowing intakes...refer back to what Maryland Stang posted...

I'm going to try this tell me what you guys think.
I have afr 165's a gt 40 intake and 65mm tb with 24# injectors,jba headers.
I am going to keep the stock cam and leave it sd.

That will work just fine - and make decent power with very good torque.

Thanks,
Just want a mid 12 with good tires.
I have a 87 notch so I didn't think it would be to hard.
Also don't want anyone to know there is any work done.(sleeper)
Also what is the price to port the gt-40 lower to afr 165's.
You can e-mail me if you would like.
