... but if you have a tubular GT40 already, it would work well.

That GT-40 lower will flow some impressive numbers with some minor port work.

depends on what you call impressive. I removed a lot of material from my OEM cobra lower and gained nothing on my last n/a setup.

I truly believe my Cobra intake was costing me at least 15rwhp. Both Gt-40 intakes work well with boost though

neither will flow as well as the Holley Systemax intakes.

Of course getting to the higher numbers would require getting material added to the outside of the intake runners,which is what I plan on doing to mine.I agree with you on the systemax,but just throwing this out there since he already has the GT-40.

He already has the Holley also. And he has a cobra intake on his 92.

Gotcha! I did'nt know he had one already.With that being the case,it would be the best one since it's matched for his heads.
