Thanks for the help. I was wondering about the necessity of a spacer with that intake. I had to use one on my GT-40, but I was not sure about this one. I do have the tall motorsport valve covers, but they are black with the finned aluminum lettering. They look a little shorter than the big square polished Ford ones. This supposed to be the best intake around, even beating my GT-40 down low on torque. I have TFS heads that are ported to a 1262 gasket. They have a really nice port job on them. Problem is my dyno numbers peaked at 5000 RPM, and the torque peak was at 4700 RPM!!! That tells me the motor is falling on it's face up top. I don't think the problem is my E-cam/1.72's, but the limited flow capabilities of the GT-40/Cobra intake.

Thanks again for the info,

Rob
