Box Intake?
Whats the benefit of running a box upper intake on a charged motor? Such as the Comp, Cartech, Down's, Holcomb "Civil Wars" boxes??
I have a ported Cobra right now.. Can I get better low end torque from the box upper & proted cobra lower? I was even thinking about the complete TFS Box-R intake.. ??? http://www.trickflow.com/product/man..._51500008.asp# Thanks Carl

Re: Box Intake?
you will LOSE low end with a box intake.
Also, if your needs require one, do not get the COMP box as they are not worth the material they are made out of

Re: Box Intake?
You gain a less restrictive intake when you go to a bread box intake. . . . it also makes it easier to get to the driver's side valve cover.

Edit: I just saw Tommy's post in this thread refering to the fitment of the TFS intake. http://forums.qwiksnake.com/showthread.php?t=4753

Re: Box Intake?
Alot of people run the box intake to loose down low torque so the car will hook better on radials.

Re: Box Intake?
My Trick Flow Stage 1 cam has all the power you'd need from 2k on. Why does yours wait until 3k? Italian drove my car and said it felt like it had 4.10's or something. Do you have 19# injectors? If so, switch to 24's...I noticed a HUGE gain in bottom end with that swap. I too have the TFS1 cam and a cobra intake.
As for box, you shouldn't need it if your Cobra is ported at all...mine's port-matched. I've seen as much as 840 rwhp through a ported Cobra (cut open and welded) with a Novi blower several years ago.

The intake I tried came off my friends turbo'd 92 Coupe. He has a 2.5" Cowl hood and has issues with it hitting his also.
