I am looking for a Cold air intake for my 1998 svt cobra, it has a 4.6. I would prefer BBK but let me know what you have.
thanks

well they say the CAI really dont do anything as in hp, but i think they will give u at least 5hp whenever they are tuned. me i just like how they look and how they make that whistling sound very cool, lol, anywayz u can look at them on AM

What would you spend the money on to get more horsepower, mind you the motor is still basically stock

shit on a svt cobra man u can get alot of hp, ya but the best thing is to start off with the CAI, should just wait until a v8 owner replies to u cuz i really dont know wat to get for a v8

a cai from am is a great way to start and add that little extra note to the symphony your boot tells the engine to play. powerwise yes its about 2-3 on a dyno....not noticible really just by feeling it. if your looking for bang for buck, bolt ons are a GREAT place to start. thats what most people who are just warming up to their cars do. another good idea(this is everyones fav mod) is gears. 3.73 for a manual and 4.10 for an auto....this is what everyone will agree with im quite certain. once you get use to constant addition of power you can look into either swaping the stock s/c for a t4 turbo(or any turbo YOU like), or you can get a better sc and end up playing with it on the dyno to tune it properly so it can push your ass across the finish line as fast as you can.

some will also say nitrous...... however i have never installed it, used it, or involved myself with it. so i cant help you on that one.

concluding.......gears should probably come first, then some bolt ons, then get yourself going with power adders.


edit: sorry...i forgot GET A CAM!!!!! and then if your a speed freak get some rockers and rollers. potentially bad for a dd car but if your a drag fiend theyre great for you.

with a cobra I would get a JLT intake. The gains are much different on a cobra than a v6 lol so none of that 2-3 hp gain haha

im more k&n myself, thats on any mustang. my v6 was 4 hp actually so i would suppose it would be slightly larger on a cobra. but still not as noticible as some sexy frpp 3.73's

I'm with Dave..if you're going to get a CAI, get the JLT. They claim 15-20 rwhp for your car..but you'll probably get a little lower. But for 225$.. it's a good buy.
