Cobra /GT-40 vs. BBK SSI intakes

Coupe50h · 08-25-2006, 06:05 PM

" Muscle mustangs and fast fords "magazine had a comparison on those intakes, I forgot which date, But the ssi is a better intake. looks nice with the fuel rails it comes with. However I remember the gt-40, would hang with it until the real high rpms, the aluminum gt-40 upper sounds great to me since it would bolt right up.
And like mentioned above, "get n20, or a tank of gas, that really made me laugh, but that's about how i feel too. lol

Hey,

N2o would be great, I kinda like the N/A route though. Nitrous would be a faster way, but I'm always more impressed with Natural running. I toyed with buying a HP turbo awile back, but the initial cost persuaded me otherwise.

It seems to me that the shorter runners on the SSI would reduce low-end torque slightly but would pull harder on the top-end like you were saying. I have also heard that the cobra might be a bit restrictive for a stroker.
