Default 1988 Mustang GT intake

I have a 1988 gt and i'm looking at the BBK ssi intake. Is this a good intake for more power? I have a Cobra intake now. And would I also have hood clearance issues?

Two things... the BBK is notorious for having issues with sealing, and it isn't an improvement over your Cobra intake. It'd be a waste of money to change it. People get it just for the different looks from what I know of.

I agree with Eagle. Your current CAI looks like it fits well to your upper intake/TB (I looked on your gallery - nice clean engine compartment, BTW.

+1 the BBK intake fuel leak is legendary and almost a given if you buy one not to mention it completely redefines ugly
