it an overseas ripoff of eldelbrock, buy american. From what i hear profesional products has all they're castings done overseas.

Do they make a typhoon for a 351W? I dont think i have ever seen one?

yes they do, i'm selling my lower and buying a 351W lower intake to have hogged out and port matched to my heads and upper intake(hogged as well), i think it should flow very nicely when hogged out.

Your cam is not as mild as mine or a stocker, that will get you to 5800. hell mine seems like it pulls to 6000 but the dyno says 5350 and at the rpm range of a lightly moded motor you would be better off with a lower rpm manifold. I say put it on a dyno and see where your making power to, it may surprize you.

I'd be inclined to blame the heads for falling off at 5300. The TW heads are wicked, but not known for making power much after 5200. Recent test showed that though competitor heads made more average and peak power..they all fell off shortly after 5500rpm..only the eddy heads made power Right to 6000 rpm. That is one of the reasons I picked the XE cam in my combination to work in conjunction with the other supporting components make power right up to 6000 rpm. The Typhoon runners are of same design and basic dimension as the RPM intake..it puts forth plenty of air flow to support 300-320 rwhp high reving engines. The intake like the RPM are both designed for high rpm power...not low end numbers. Low end power FEELS better on the street..and in that respect I would have to vote the GT40 as the best street intake, however I don't really think you can go wrong with any aftermarket intake available today. If your running an H/C set up you need to match the power curve of ALL the components so they work together as a package. I see way too many threads posted by guys who drop in a miss match of parts, then complain the car doesn't FEEL fast..or run well. It's all about the collective workings of the parts..if your collection of parts work where the typhoon intake was designed (or copied) to work..then it will meet your needs quite well.

how much will you sell your intake to me for?? i have been trying to get a hold of a gt 40 intake.. and i had a cobra intake on my old 91 lx and i just didnt feel a difference..also people have been telling me that the cobra intake is useless..im not sure

Ask stang 22 if there junk.

It's too bad that we have to buy everything from China nowdays - especially when they're ripping off designs that were originally American. If we quite buying stuff made in America, pretty soon nobody's going to have a job MAKING any stuff in America. Then we won't be able to afford anything.

ya know it wouldnt bother me at all about being done over seas if it were actually its own design. then its just another competitor in the performance market, not a copy of an existing product.

Do you still have the cobra manifold. I would swap with you.

Sad but true. Only stopping a few people on this board isn't going to change anything. Don't worry, Vic Edelbrock isn't going bankrupt anytime soon..

NO sorry it came off of my 90hatch and i got rid of it when someone destroyed my car. sorry
