[QUOTE]Originally posted by 93PONY: [QB] The person who 'made' the intake is Dave Inall. The same guy who 'made' my Incon turbo kit. I don't know the whole story on who actually designed the intake...I know who cast them, I know who first had the idea/desire, & I know who stole the design. I could care less who designed it. 'We' (HCI Motorsports) sell the intake to 'our' customers. 'We' also sell H-beam rods, forged pistons, & a host of other quality parts... I don't know who designed any of that shit either...nor do I care. Notchback: I never said 'all 96-98 4V's make around 400RW with boost & bolt-on's.' I said MOST. I see countless Racesystem tuned 96-98 cobra's with exhaust, & the other basic bolt-ons making 400-430RWHP. Sure, on occuasion you find one the puts out more....& on occuasion you find one the pust out less. The vast majority put out 400-430 around here. I could care less what one cobra down in So-Cal put down with a ported intake. Cut the runners & the motor will peak higher in the RPM. Wow. HP = TQ * (RPM/5252) Therefore the higher you can make TQ in the RPM, the more HP you'll get....especailly with a blower as the higher you spin a blower, the more air it'll push. A few years back one of my buddies had a 98 cobra that put out around 430RWHP. He cut the runners on the stock intake & did some porting & the thing lost TQ & gained massive high-rpm HP. Nearly busted 500RW if I remember correctly. That's still only one car.... The point is, that 99Cobra has an off-road exhaust & 12lbs from the turbo kit. 480RWHP may not sound 'that impressive' to some of you, but only fools look at 500RWTQ & say 'that's not impressive'. How much TQ does a 96+ 4V make with off-road exhaust & 12lbs of boost from an Vorturd? It'd be hard pressed to break 400RW let alone 500! So, which car will pull harder in the 1/4 or on the street? The one with massive low-end torque? Nah.....turbo's don't make power down low! :bsflag: [/QB][/QUOTE]
