The 5.0 truck intake flows more air than either the the 5.0HO or GT40 intake, so it has the potential to make more HP too. A cobra motor was rated 240hp as delivered in a car, but with some free flowing exhaust and a little more cam or 1.7 rockers it will deliver over 300HP easy.

thanks, thats really good to know. i was planning on getting some nice exhaust, but i dont think ill get the cams or anything. i have to be careful about giving my engine too much power because my tranny is only rated for 330 lb/ft of torque. i think if i ever got up to 300 hp my tranny wouldnt be able to handle it. i would love some cams just to sound better but its just not practical. im not planning on getting a new transmission.

Fuel lines aren't necessary, though you'll need the V8 fuel rails and 8 injectors. Most 5.0 intakes have internal EGR so if you get a complete truck intake that will already be there, and same goes for the cobra motor, if it's complete the EGR will be there attached to the upper intake.
