A person on this forums that I would call a friend suggested AFM Powerpipe with the MAM in the fender well but I just seem to be stupid and cannot find that on AFM.com, and a question to that is do I need to get one of there MAM to put in the fender well or can I move my stock one there. Also I see basically alot of foxes using the BBK Fender CAI, what the diffrence in these? AFM has 11"-14" I see MAM for BBK for with all 19lb does this mean BBK and stuff is best with 19 lb fuel injectors? I called AFM twice and they gave me recommened of two diffrent pipes and MAM each time and it sounded like the same person so I am also confused on that end. I have a 93 Cobra with 75mm Mam and 65mm TB. I tried to sreach for Best CAI and stuff on these forums and it said no sreaches found so sorry if this has been posted before. I just wanna know if it matter really or no I know if there is a diffrence itll only be 2-3 hp so let me know if you guys can!

My wife likes my spool and blow-off valve.
keep stock setup...drop in k&n filter and make sure silencer is not installed. spend your money on somthing that will help you..not worth the money imho...

My car had a UPR CIA on it when I bought it and it's a real POS. It doesn't fit together well and getting to the filter and loosening the clamp is a pain. I'm putting on a stock box and tube as soon as I can find one.
The best mass air meters are not going to work with the stock air box.

Yeah I understand that I need a 30lb fuel injector to get hte pro m 80mm+ that mount it in the fenderwell and that the CAI by them is the 12" N/a powerpipe just the only thing that upset me with that set up is that I need the 315 and 185 together to make either one them work... So I guessing if I go with a new CAI, I would just save up the 500 and go with the 12" Power Pipe and Pro-m 80mm MAM being

Another question, would I have to upgrade my 65MM TB if I go with the AFM/Pro-M MAI/MAFM?

I made my own power pipe style intake out of couplers and intercooler tubing for under 50 dollars. Idle quality improved as did throttle response at higher speed.
I had a BBK CAI on my car. I sold it and put a stock air box back in with a drop-in K&N. Didnt notice a difference at all. I have a 75mm maf on the car.
If you want one for looks....go for it. But don't do it with the assumption of getting more power and fuel economy.

I would buy a set of underdrive pulleys, some good control arms to get the power to the ground maybe.
The way i look at it, if you don't have the stock air box setup, which is a cold air intake, then make your own, its real simple and you will get satisfaction by building your own. When you make your cold air intake, add a mass air sensor screen to the filter side of the mass air meter so it straightens out the turbulent incoming air so the mass air sensor gets a proper reading and you will be good to go, summit sells the screens, sum-29060s The very small restriction of airflow caused by the screen is outweighed by how much better the sensor reads the incoming air, i got this off of the pro-m website. I put a fullsize amsoil filter in the lower fender, amsoil calls it a nano-filter, it uses no sticky oil.

Yes, and it's all mine :insane laugh:
Seriously if you've already got a 75mm MAF, and a 65mm TB, you've got all you need for a 300+rwhp 5.0. I would look elsewhere for the power. Stock airbox is fine, I like the looks of the AFM powerpipe, and it is probably worth a few hp on a h/c/i car. For the same amount of money you'd pay for a powerpipe, plus an MAM, you should consider a custom cam. Stock cams on Cobras don't take advantage of the air that the intake and heads can flow. However, if you have any ideas of swapping out heads in the future, then hold off on the cam until you swap the heads.
BTW, you should be running 24lbs injectors if you have a true cobra.

I have a true Cobra my comment about the 19lbs where I notice on AfM.com all the BBK MAFM where saying 19lbs which I was confused because 80+mm usally require atleast a 30 lbs I was just woundering why they had 19lbs for all the way to 85mm maybe I just wasnt clear havnt read what I wrote up there. I know I suck at explaining myself lol. and I do plan on swaping heads over once I am finishing moving and have more money to spend on the car. So I shouldn't bother with a ecam or a custom cam untill I get permanent head.
And to you Mustang5L5 my goal is basically as much hp as the stock 302 can handle RWHP which I Was told it was about 340rwhp. I don't care if I reach that with FORD parts or not really I would just like the best I already have all my stock parts in storage.. Well that being only my Exhaust but I plan on keeping all stock equiment incase any reason I sell it one day.

If you prefer not to waste money like most of us, then an optimum cam now would not be optimum with whatever heads you have later, but you can get pretty close if you want to spend the money now.
340rwhp is a solid number from an N/A EFI 302. If you don't bump the stock rev-limiter, or go with forced induction then it's not an easy task to accomplish. Have you considered a blower or nitrous? If you plan on going that route, then you just need to stay south of 500rwhp, 6500rpm and a good conservative tune and you'll be fine with the stock block and internals.
