Who can port an intake?

[Butterfinger]

Any reputable shop that has experience with porting a Cobra upper and lower intake manifold in the Wichita, Tulsa or Oklahoma City area?

Tmoss see http://tmossporting.0catch.com/. Tom is a regular poster around here, and if you do a search on Tmoss, you'll find all sorts of postive comments about him and his work.

Any particular reason you want to port a cobra intake when there is plenty of better intakes out there?
If you have a real cobra and that's why you are porting it, i'd have it extrude honed, especially if doing the upper is important to you.

Regardless of how it's done, likely you are going to need to do mail order.

PLEASE contact Tmoss before you do anything. His work will give you a major difference you can feel and he is great to deal with.

Is it worth to port both the upper and lower Cobra intakes, or just do the lower (no power adders, AFR165 58cc heads Comp XE264 cam)?

With those heads NA, do the upper too.

But extrude honing is going to cost you.

I know you may like the intake, but if you were to use an RPM II, you will make the best power.

Street car? Like posted above, talk to Tom Moss. Cobra intake is tough to beat down low.

Course, if you need that extra 20 hp over 6000 rpm, and are willing to give up the torque under 5500, choose an rpm II or trick flow by all means.

The lower is the restriction, not the upper. Tom's work won't gain you a huge amount of peak horsepower, but gives you excellent gains through the midrange where you actually drive the car and will feel the improvement. I don't know where in WA you are, but if you're in the Seattle area, drop me a line and I'll gladly give you a spin in either of my cars that have Tmoss intakes on them and show you what's what.

I want to keep the Cobra intake, since it's original. I'm not so much concerned with power above 6,000 RPM...sounds like TMoss-ed Cobra intake is the best way for midrange street power.

 

[tmoss]

just the lower is all that is really necessary for the AFR 165s and gains will be across the rpm band.
