    Looking for information on this intake manifold. Does it bolt up to "B" heads? How about "C" heads? How does it compare to the "C" intake? Would it be any good on a stock 97 Cobra? Other thoughts?

    cooling woes

    Looking for some advice on getting my 97 Cobra to run cooler. I understand these cars run on the warm side and I have found that to be more then true.

    Former GM man buys a Cobra

    Just thought I'd pop in and introduce myself. The vast majority of my previous rides have been GM. Several 2nd and 3rd gen Camaros and Firebirds. Last one I had was a modded 89 Formula 350. I didn't like the t-tops and automatic is just not that engaging. That was 4 years ago. I had enough and...
