Cobra Jet Intake and Super Cobra Jet Throttle Body and (soon to be released) FRPP Cobra Jet CAI has been ordered! Woohoo! Thank you Tousley Ford for the great prices! Pics are linked below. The last pic is of the CAI in Kdanner's engine bay.

:grd:

I didn't realize you could pre-order the CAI tube. Do you have the price by chance?

Steve from Tousley made a quick phone call to FRPP and was able to put the package together. Not sure if it is really preordered but it came off my debit card already :) It was $273 from Tousley

Thanks. I may give him a ring and see if that is for the tube and airbox assembly or just the tube. I don't really need the whole kit since the airbox is an Airaid piece.

Let me know what he says as I assumed it was the kit

I see on SVTP this is the new fad mod for the moment. lol

sweet should be some BOSS intakes up for sale soon then lol

I'm sure there will be a lot of them for sale soon at some reasonable prices.

Oh no you di int!

Have a Boss intake, Boss fuel rail covers, BBK 85tb, C&L cai, Boss strut tower brace all for sale now! PM me for pricing!

:eek:

So your spending all that money to replace that for maybe 5 to 10 hp and maybe a few tenths of a second. Doesn't seem worth it to me. I would have saved that money and put it towards spray or boost personally.

Brent is a hardcore track guy so it's worth it to him for a tenth or two. I think he's a hardcore NA guy too.

I'm not bothering with a CJ or Boss intake. I'm going to do it the easy way with boost eventually.

People are seeing 20-40 HP and that IS attractive to me for $500 upgrade charge

Are you going to be spinning it to the same RPM as the boss? Did you ever upgrade the valve train?

dibs!!!

Already shift at 7750 for 36,000 miles and 180 passes so no changes for me until I upgrade the springs

Over the boss?

Yes look around...Boss cars hover in the 420-430 range and CJ intake cars are 450-490 depending on fuel and throttle body and cai choice

I knew this mod had to have some merit.

-Alex

Yeah, that's what I was wondering. I didn't remember you doing any valve train upgrades, but just asking anyways. It's going to be sweet.

brent is my hero

Cant wait Derek!





Awww Nic...when I get rich I'll be your rich uncle in law three times removed

Haven't had the plenum in our hands yet (or one on our dyno), what's the reported torque losses coming out to?

From what I think I remember seeing on SVTP, TQ losses are around the same as the Boss....I'll have to go back and find it....but I don't feel like it. :lol:

Damn you, D!

I'm assuming torque losses beyond that of a BOSS? Basically an overgrown BOSS that picks up peak but drops TQ only more in both directions?

Pretty much. There is no way it makes the power that Brent thinks it does. 50hp over what a Boss does? He's trying to say people are picking up 70hp with just an intake change in a NA platform. LOL, no way.

Only a turbo car will truly be able to benefit from the CJ intake.

From what I understood, the intake only really picked up more power when spinning to the motor up to the 8100 mark like the CJ motor...which obviously can't be done on a stock GT.

Yeah I was going to say that but I didn't want to start shit cause I know how sensitive people are when I disagree with them.

All the cars that have this intake are in the 450-490 range SAE with full boltons some with e85 some with 91/93. You pickup HP and TQ across the board and lose no more TQ than what the Boss already lost. The key is NOT the intake but rather the throttle body choice and the cold air tube and MAF...I chose the largest of both ;)

I'm interested in seeing your results. That kind of power with bolt ons and a stock longblock would be impressive. The problem with it is having to rev the hell out of the stock valvetrain. In a couple more years I bet we start seeing a lot of cars running the Boss intakes spinning them in the upper 7k range starting to have valve/springs issues.

Shifting the Boss at 7750 right now and plan on staying there until the winter when I do the crank trigger wheel, Boss springs and tensioners, and the 11mm/290° Cobra Jet exhaust cams...then I'll go to 8000

Yeah, I would just wait and do all that at once just to avoid any potential headaches.

I agree.

People are not having any headaches shifting at 7750 and are making the numbers mentioned without having to spin it higher right now so I'll be happy for awhile

Stock longblock including cams/valvetrain, stock heads, through an auto making 490rw? LOL, you're asking an aweful lot of that lil smallblock and expecting to it live.

Steve I said 450-490 depending on choices of parts and fuels. I never said I will get 490. If I get 450 on 93 I'll be happy...however...my car will not see a dyno so we won't know numbers but we will see track times...shooting for 10's in cool and warm weather like wbt

:beers:

I'm interested to see how it turns out for you. I might do this early next year. I have the pulse ring, upgraded valvetrain, built motor with billet gears and stage 3 cams. I haven't had mine on the dyno yet but hopefully will be attending the dyno day at TS. Keep ua posted!

I've heard the CJ manifold picks up more power earlier than the boss maybe a 1000 rpm difference? Not sure if that power is more than stock at 4500-5500 but the losses are less in that range than t he boss manifold and it has more potential for peak horse power due to revving super high.

You won't get 8K out of the auto processor. The only way you are going to get there is with a non-computer controlled auto and a Boss processor.

For a test, a tuner gave me a tune last year that had some special work done that let the auto shift at 8100 but I felt valve float or the car missing due to no trigger wheel. After three passes we took it off my car...so it is possible but not recommended until the trigger wheel and valvesprings are upgraded.
