The TFS is much better! Even the TFS Street heat is a better manifold!

my cobra intake has supported 450 hp at the wheels, granted I'm sure with the trick flow some more ponies would have been squeezed out.

I've made over 700RWHP with a properly setup Cobra intake, however a Holley systemax would have made even more.
