Which Intake for my combo

NitroNixon · 12-10-2002, 12:46 PM

Which intake would you recommend for my engine. Here's my combo

93 rebuilt shortblock
95 Mustang Heads
X-303 Cam
Stubby Headers
Crane Fireball Ignition
65mm Throttlebody
19lb Injectors

I currently have the stock intake on the engine. I'm leaning towards the GT-40 or Cobra intakes. I also have a truck lower intake laying around and was thinking of buying the Holley System Max II upper to go with my truck lower.

Thanks for any suggestions.

i would have to vote on the cobra intake, (or gt-40), i am gonna use the cobra intake for my setup because it flows good, and you can also extrude hone port the upper later on to outflow the upper on a GT-40, but i do think the gt40 looks better, either way both good intakes, cobra is also cheaper!

95 heads are the same as anything else, that X cam is too big, and you better upg your springs woth it. Go w/ a cobra or explorer.

Thanks, I bought the car this way, the X-303 cam was already installed. The car pulls hard through 6000rpm. Is it hard to remove a cam, I'd rather not bother with swapping cams now because I don't have a garage to store the car while I'm doing it.

I think anything in the range of gt40/cobra intake will work really well. Your not that modified so a reall extreme intake wouldn't be worth it. As for the difference between cobra and gt40, I have no idea. I went wit ht gt40 upper/lower cuz there readily available.

I would go with the GT-40P/Explorer intake. It flows as well as a cobra and is cheaper. Around $200.00 new.
