2000xp8 said:It's not only about the power, it's also about the value of the intake. A used rpm with likely always be worth the same, you put my into a cobra, and you won't ever get it out, probably even devalue it even more. So why make due when you can sell the cobra, and get a better intake used rpm for the same.

in the case above the guy ran an E cam, AFR 165 heads and paid $150 for porting his Explorer including mailing costs and the intake kicked the RPMII's butt all across the rpm band - not just the low-mid. So, he had the same money in his intake as a used RPMI would have cost and $200+ less than an RPMII would cost.
I guess I just don't see things right...............
2000xp8 said:The guy already has a cobra, which is valued what at around $250-$300? I just don't see the point in investing $150 more in it. When it can be sold on ebay and an intake that flows better straight from the box can be purchased with the money. And needs no real porting.
tmoss said:That very well could make less power - good move?
Depends on the needs of the combo doesn't it..............one size does not fit all...........
2000xp8 said:It could also very well make more power.
I doubt an rpm intake is too much for an afr combo.
