intake and throttle body

what intake a TB do u recommend, car im driving is 95 cobra, what brands are good..

Fordgazm · 04-10-2003

Sorry didnt know it was a cobra . Your intake and throttle body should be PLENTY fine . I would say save the 1000 bucks and save some more for a supercharger . The cobra is already pretty stout .

hehe..ok..but I live in sweden and a S/C would cost about 7500 bucks, with parts and installing..thats alot of money..

but what about the heads on a cobra, its to bad, cause i don´t know to much about the parts, what the can take and so on...

ALUMINUM HEADS!!! Trick Flow Twisted Wedge heads will give you the biggest valves and best flow with out having to notch the pistons.

thanks

I have the AFR 165's (aluminum)
on my car they are good for about 40 ponies by themselves.

you can check their dyno numbers here http://www.airflowresearch.com

since you have a cobra your intake is already decent but you can always have it ported or go with one of the popular ones like the TFS Street Heat, or a GT40 with a ported lower.

Heres another link that will let you compare the most popular aftermarket heads.

sounds nice..how much did u pay for yours..and where did u buy ´em..i really have got to do something with my snake..hehe

STONECOLD · 04-11-2003

I got them directly from AFR and at the time they were just over 1300.
I dont know if they have gone down. If your intrested in them I would call them to get some info, they are really nice guys and are very helpful, they have 165's and 185's, let them know what you want to do with your snake and they can give ya some advice as to what to go with.

If a supercharger would cost you 6000 then afrs would be around 2500 right ? ouch

arcticranger · 04-11-2003

what about these headson the 95 cobra, Gt-40x Turbo Swirl Alum. 64cc (Comp), are they eny good.??..is it nessesary to change the camshaft when changing the heads..

STONECOLD · 04-12-2003

its not necessary to change the camshaft. the GT-40X are decent heads, But there are better ones. If you use the link above you can compare them to the other heads on the market.
