Default how much power will a cobra intake handle?

I have a cobra intake on my 95 mustang. i have a 331 going together and i want to make sure that the cobra intake will be able to handle 350hp 370tq. i dont really want to buy another intake because i know this one is just fine. has any one made any numbers like that with that intake?

Ford claims the Cobra is good up to 375 hp in as cast form.

I have one on top of my 331 and i think it does fine. Im sure im pushing a bit more than 375hp. Im sure a systemax would do a lot better than the stock cobra but since i own a 93 cobra the intake isnt coming off.

Get the lower ported for about 10HP and keep it!

The cobra intake will "handle" that horsepower but many and many others will outperform that intake no doubt about it.

i know that there are ones that will make more hp than it, but i am shooting for the 350hp/370tq to make my horsepower to weight ratio for road racing. thanks for the response guys really helped a lot!
