Cobra Jet Intake 2016 GT

[Saleen_1977]

I currently have a CAI, full exhaust, and E85 and I am dyno in at 436hp. i am having comp cams installed. I am on the fence about adding all the cobra jet performance parts needed to add the manifold. My question is what will be my gains and benefits? Can I reach 500 rwhp?

Most people would get cams installed AFTER an intake manifold considering they'll reduce your power band quite a bit since the stock intake manifold peaks way earlier in the rpm range than where you'd see the benefit your cams. You should definitely do a GT350, Boss or CJ intake manifold setup to compliment your cams. Do not install limiters on the cams if you can help it so that they can be tuned to reduce low end losses typically associated with aftermarket cams.

Do comp cams work well with a GT350 intake?

 

[rotarymagic]

I haven't seen I done yet personally, but I know the GT350 intake carries the powerband much further than a stock manifold so I can imagine that they probably would work well without giving up much down low either. M6 or A6 car?

 

[Saleen_1977]

It is a M6. Comp cam stage 2 and the cobra jet intake should work well together. Then add 4.09 gears when Ford Performance releases them.

No point in going stage 2's and not stage 3's.

I want it to be street drivable.

 

[Saleen_1977]

I am going to pass on the Cobra Jet Intake and accessories.

Then you'll have a car with a small useless powerband that drops out of the power on each shift or revs way past the usable range in order to drop back into torque. There is no difference in street driveability between the 2's and 3's as it's all in the tune since there is VCT on both intake and exhaust cams.

What the power differences between both cam types?

What the power differences between both cam types?

bout 15rwhp for the same money.

 

[Saleen_1977]

Imagine the stage 3's and the cobra jet intake gains together?

 

[rotarymagic]

On E85, you'll probably make close to 500rwhp.
