i really want to put my Cobra intake on, but im not sure my Fuel system can handle it. can i get away with it? i have money but i need to put it into the cooling system and driveshaft (out of balance and over heating). or should i just wait?

heres my setup:
GT-40 Aluminum Y303 heads, BBK Shorties, unknown O/R H-Pipe, Flowmasters (1 chamber) dumps, underdrive pullies, Jacobs Coil, K&N, FRPP blue wires + the Cobra intake.

You don't state, so I'm going to have to guess what exactly concerns you? The fitment, flow capability, or what?

Fitment ... will bolt right up
Flow ... your ride isn't built enough to make anything mandatory, the Y heads don't flow tons better than stock E7's.

The rule is you want increased fuel flow when you increase airflow. Adding the Cobra intake will increase flow capability, but not so great as to warrant pulling you off your repair course.

If it was my car and money wasn't plentiful at the time, I would get the cooling and vibration under control and then tackle fuel desires.

At the least, you may want to throw on an adjustable pressure regulator and gauge.

upgrade the stock fuel pump if you havent already, it cant flow nearly as much fuel as the 19# injectors are capable of feeding the engine

At 100% the fuel pump will flow enough for about 300hp at the flywheel, 250hp with boost. It is not recommended to go over about 80% capacity for a pump/injector though. At 80% the stock pump can support 240hp N/A, and only 200hp with mild boost.That's how I calculate it out
