no track day for me

i got motor and tranny back in friday. spent all day saturday putting everything back on it. got procharger on intercooler etc. bought parts to hook up the bbk fuel rails,(since stock ones won't work with bbk intake) and fuel is leaking from 3 injectors. no matter what i did to stop leaks they just keep right on leaking. I was looking on a few other forums and it seams that alot of ppl are having problems with the bbk ssr intakes and fuel rails. i thought about putting the cobra intake back on but i dont think they will clear my tall valve covers. does anyone know? can anybody point me in the direction of a really good intake setup for boost. does anyboy have something for sale thats reasonable.

I would go back to the cobra intake and if needed, get an intake spacer to clear the valve covers.

Sell that BBK intake asap and buy a Systemax intake and use your stock fuel rails.That setup will make real good power.

I have never liked those BBK intakes

cobra intake will clear with a 1" spacer. I used the stock cobra intake on my 93 cobra and those same valve covers with a 1" spacer.

Bad news is, if you still have a stock hood, it may not clear. So check that before you shut the hood

By the look of the hood in his avatar,it's the same one I put on Tonya's '95 that I cloned into a GT,and it should clear.

While the other intakes are better, I was able to hit over 525 rwhp with my oem cobra intake and a procharger
