Old School - Intake Shoot Out

[a91what]

i have heard of tmoss ported gt40 intakes do wonderful things........ and i love my cobra intake too. BUT cross sectional area dictates it will choke the engine...
to play devils advocate- lets not forget the 351 in the lightning ran a gt style intake and made very resonable power.

Ummm.... I wouldn't consider 250hp out of a 351 reasonable

I thought this was all based on getting a good deal on a used 363. You could always trade that 363 for my 347. I have the hci to take advantage of it. I would love to put a second stage of nitrous on my car too.

Yes the 363 is a brand new '09 363 dart block that has been sitting in a warehouse, so it's not used but has all forged internals etc, little cash/trade tor it. I can also still can add boost later.

So here is another set up, 347ci, AFR 185 and a xe282hr, the cobra is in a ballpark im pretty good with

stock cobra/ explorer 220 cfm, tmoss max ported 250 cfm.... thats your baseline to work from...

When I see them do an intake shootout, and they are all within 2hp of eachother, my guess is that there was something else limiting the power potential. Even with that, I am glad I went with the Systemax 2, because it is the clear winner in all these dyno tests.

If you got the 363 bottom end because it was a good deal and you want to run a GT40 intake on it, go for it; see what happens. If it doesn't end up making the power you want, it's only a few hours to swap the intake later anyway. If you were building a 363 from the bottom up and you were picking out a combo, then I would recommend against it.

Yes, I can always swap it if it's not enough!! ...and yes the Holley seems to be the really overall champ!!

Edit:forget it
Looking forward to your "why did my 363 DART make 325hp??!"

Cobra gets no love

IMO pick a larger cam.... dont cut yourself short with the bumpstick. with the right cam you can prove em wrong
....... Hopefully

Below 4k rpm maybe. That 363 well be huffing enough air that a rpm2 or systemax 2 will have no issues at lower rpms.

 

[a91what]

what about doing a carb intake drilled for injectors????? i see em on big na builds at car shows in town might be worth looking into
