Help Me Choose An Intake


Just wondering what you guys would recommend for my car. It has edelbrock proformer heads and a crower 15512 cam. The cam rpm range is 1500-6500. The car is just for street driving so I was thinking something like the cobra but might put a poweradder on next year so i don't know. Looking for any suggestions. Thanks

I run FRPP Cobra upper and lower. IMO, unless you are running some serious power, anything over stock is good. I would stay away from spider intakes unless you have forced induction.

Get a Gt-40 or cobra and have TMoss port your lower intake and gasket match the heads and lower.

They are the 6037 performers with the 1.90 intake and 1.60 exhaust.

the 6037s flow like 225/175, so you can run the stock Cobra/GT40/Explorer and use a little more cam to make up for the little bit less the intake flows.

I am just going to keep it EFI. Decided to just convert to mass air. Going carb was going to cost more money because I got most of the efi stuff for a friend. Just need to buy a computer and the harness. Trying to buy an intake on corral.
