[QUOTE="TheFleshRocket, post: 15671831, member: 48535"] I am wrapping up a TVS install on my '04 Cobra. I'm going to run a 2.8 pulley on 93 octane (plus octane booster for a little insurance) with the expectation of being around 600rwhp. I discovered that the stock intake tube won't fit over the BBK 65mm throttle body and am attempting to decide what intake to get. I already have a new (bought a few months ago) VMP3000 small-footprint MAF sensor. I could see if VMP would swap it for the large-footprint MAF sensor, but there's no guarantee that they would. I see that JLT offers multiple options. There's the JLT RAM AIR INTAKE (2003-04 SVT COBRA). [URL]http://www.vmpperformance.com/JLT-Ram-Air-Intake-2003-04-SVT-Cobra-p/jlt-rai2-fmc-0304.htm[/URL] This looks like the closest-to-stock-style option. It says it adds 18-26RWHP but does not list a supported HP range. It includes a 4x9 filter. I'm inclined to go this route for ease of install.

[URL]http://www.vmpperformance.com/JLT-Ram-Air-Intake-2003-04-SVT-Cobra-p/jlt-rai2-fmc-0304.htm[/URL] There's the JLT HIGH-BOOST COLD AIR INTAKE KIT AFTERMARKET MAF (2003-04 SVT COBRA).
