Also, the Street Heat made 13 more rwhp with my car on the dyno than my old Cobra. Before the Blower and Stroker. I guess you could say it is all in the tune, but my timing and fp was the same with both setups. I also had a Stage 2 TFS cam. The Cobra has less CFM 220 versus 245, and the EGR on the Cobra is a bottleneck. I am not saying that the Cobra isn't a good Intake, it is just that I had phenominal gains with it.

Actually I think it was more of a 1-1.XX MPH increase. I never saw the time slip from his old run, he told me (before he even considered a 331 or an intake swap).
I also think your cam has something to do with it, think about it, your cam was 'rated' up to about 6200-6500rpm (not sure). I think it will make more power with a slightly better flowing intake than the stge 1 cam would. I swapped my cam for the AFM one before I got the intake. I honestly did not go much faster (if at all), but I have to blame my valve springs more than the GT40 intake I had. With the intake swap, I ran the #s in my sig.
Also I made that opinion on the Cobra cos I have heard time and time again on this very board that the GT40 does not make much more power than the Cobra and my 'guesstimated' comparism was with a GT40 unit.
Oh yea, on the matter of tune, he did not have any change at all. No dyno, timing (15deg) or fuel (42psi) change at all.
Disclaimer: I had clogged cats, and bad fuel filter, but those alone will not give me an increase of more than 5mph.
