Cobra Jet intake

Anyone thinking of trying the new Cobra Jet Intake?? What is the expected power gain?

Nobody really knows for sure yet. American Muscle is installing and tuning one on one of their project cars, but I don't think they've published any actual results yet.

It is supposed to bump peak power to the 7750 RPM range, however, so you might also consider installing the CJ Competition Pulse Ring at the same time.

I don't really have any desire to rev it that high....Shifting at 7200-7400 is plenty for me.

I guess if I want more power I'll just put a Vortech on it.

I posted a link elsewhere with a quote from a Ford engineer who said they gained 25 HP. That was on an S and they have a different tune that revs higher. You'll need a tune to take advantage of it.

You need a TB too....Probably over a $2000 deal for 25hp...Almost a bad of a bang for the buck as exhaust....lol

Yep

Guess I'll leave it alone and learn how to drive better!!

That's why I went for the LTs and o/r H. For the same money you get 35-40 hp.

Semi related post:

Some guy on youtube responded to my 400hp at the wheels note I made, and he says "well my GT has 425hp at the wheels with a CAI, Boss Intake, and Bama tune"...well duh.

Also that engine is going to blow up soon.
