![]() Yhe explorer intake is almost as good as a Cobra intake...
The GT40 is slightly better. The edelbrock is better too. Dont waste your money on a Cobra intake unless you want the "look" of it. Otherwise if your really on a budget go for the Explorer intake. But i picked up my TrickFlow intake for $255 used upper and lower! And I know it flows more than the cobra intake. ![]() |

![]() Jump on it for free!!!!!!!!!!! Most sell for $200+
It's just as good as the GT40 or Cobra. On stock heads it's a great port match but if your not going to change heads then a properly ported stocker can make equal or slightly better power/torque and usually can be bought for less. Paste the link in my sig for more info on the stock lower.

![]() hey tmoss, i saw your dyno attachment on one of your postings. it torque looks really decent for stock heads. i was wondering if i would pick up more torque with stock heads ported on the exhaust side, and possibly a magnum 270 camshaft. would this be a good cam for torque, or could i do better?
