I was a little leary when I read your last couple posts...since I've been in a couple Cobras..but after watching your vids...all I can say is...

respect.

Nice job on the tune. Spray or not...that takes some serious motivation to rework the internals and get things running well. Props.

yeah what space also do is help u generate a little bit more air. If u notice sometime on low end our car has a little lag. That's because it wants more air. With The space itll help it take off better
