is a cobra h/e any good?

i was wondering if the cobra h/e is a good h/e for our cars? and is it better to run one h/e or the stock one inline with an after market one because i have heard mixed things about both setups

if your using a front mount HE its best to run it inline with the stocker, with some of the bigger ones like the zzp s3 you can proabably just run that.
as for the cobra its a cheap cooling solution is it the best out there no not even close but it does its job.
im useing the cobra he i bought it off a member here for 45$, 20$ worth of hardware and about 2.5 hrs of work and it was done crusing temps are down to about 10 deg above ambient and a pull from 2nd to 4th ill see iat2s around 130, stock i was seeing 150s so its definitally improved

sounds good im going down to a 2.8 or 2.7 pulley and im doing dual pass, option b, 60# injectors, and maybe meth injection but im not sure yet about the meth

crazy that it's like the cheapest one on the market, but it works damn good. Just run it inline with the stocker and it performs great!

Yes you will see nice gains porting the head. And the cobra is great for the price. Ive been running one for a couple years now
