I'd like to see dyno HP and torque curves for the whole RPM range. Obviously it's gonna be down from the GT-40 under 6 grand just based on its construction.

I wouldn't use any intake that uses the stock lower.

That may not be too bad of a budget turbo/blower intake, but you'd still gain more from a better lower. You could opt for the the GT-40 version, but by the time you buy a GT-40 lower, you'd be better off just buying a better complete intake like the TFS box for about the same money.

That link WAS to the GT-40 version.. I have the Anderson ported upper & lower Cobra on the car now.. I was going to keep the lower & get the GT box upper.

It was confusing at first because the pics they show are for a stock lower

I wouldn't use a box upper on any of the Ford lowers.
Big cross section of the upper does not match the small cross section of the stock Fords.

Wait 3 months, save $100 a month, buy an upper / lower set.

But your cylinder heads should flow enough for a box intake as well.

I remember Murillo used to have a Vortech Igloo on a GT40 lower (ported) years ago. Car went 8.60's. I like the box intakes. They work well.

I used a box upper on a GT40 lower on my windsor, went 10.6's with the juice. Went high 11's all motor. I drove it on the street, liked the way it pulled and performed around town. I used a 4.10 gear, tho.
