Yeah the GT40 looks better than the Cobra/Explorer, but I think you're crazy to spend that much money on the GT40. I got the Cobra so I can have it extrude honed later and flow a metric @$$ ton. Besides, it was a lot cheaper.

Well, if cheap is the metric, then the Explorer gets the nod - it will make the same power as the GT40. BUT you have to buy them used to get them for $200-250. Not a big deal though as bead blasting makes them look like this...........
