K&N Intake System

[NVENOM8]

Hey guys, I a fun time at Firebird last night. Ran a 13.5 with street tires. Remember, my car is stock, and the track wasnt the greatest. I was in my local Checker Auto Parts, and I saw a K&N intake on display, and it said that in the '03-'04 Cobra, it will add 30 hp. Is this an accurate claim? I have a K&N air filter now, but after seeing other Cobras running in the low 12's, I want to slowly start getting there. What do you all think?

don't you already have a jlt intake?

[NVENOM8]

NO, its all stock, wih just the filter.

Is it the FIPK kit? If so, you may want to get the A/F checked since it will lean it out some. Maybe OK if it goes rich up top, but tip in with the stock tune should be a little scary for a few seconds.

[NVENOM8]

Yes it is the FIPK kit. Will a diablo tuner be the best to check the a/f? And what do you mean it will be a little scary for a few seconds?

Your best off taking it and getting a DYNO tune. Just get a mild safe tune and you will be all good. There are plenty of supoorting vendors on here. Give someone a call and Im sure they will get you the info you need.

If you are completely stock, the K&N will NOT lean out your car to the point of any kind of danger. You are just fine putting it on. Now when you slap a different pulley on, thats another story...

Where do you guys suggest getting the dyno tune, I was going to get the FIPK intake kit, and the 2.8 pully (I was told that would be the best) for now. If I have it dyno tuned, then there is no reason for getting the diablo then, correct? How much are dyno shops charging for a tune? Thanks for everyones help. This is a great resource.

Arizona Dyno Chip charges $425 if you get a chip burned and $625 if you are getting the handheld with it. That won't include the price of the pulley or labor on that. Not sure what PSR charges.

when it comes to a tune you get what you pay for. i have had devin at performance solutions tune mine, and he has done in incredible job. i would not trust anyone else to tune my cobra, as thats one of his speacialties.
