Intake Manifold


I want to add an intake manifold on my 90 GT. I am leaning towards the Ford Racing Cobra intake. Any suggestions?

Depending on what you do I'd say if you go with Trick Flow go with street heat.

I was gonna get the bbk ssi but when I ordered it through summit it was on back order, waited 4 months to long and went with the trick flow street heat.

The new BBK intake is junk. The design is poor and doesn't promote equal flow to the runners.

the stock intake will out flow the stock heads, even on the worst #1 and #5 runners 151, 157 cfm vs. the stock head flow of a whole 128 cfm.
Do your self a favor and save up for some heads first. You'll get a better result and then when you get an intake youll really see a diffrence.
