no way i'd run that thing on a TT setup that's already in the low 11's. it's a nice intake, but his next step should be a to breadbox style custom intake to move into the 10's.

I dont really know what I am going to run yet, I just know that the cobra is a restriction.
As far as Nitto DR's go, I think it depends on the size. I was running 245/45/17, and they suck. Not just for the TT car either. My brother ran them on his completely stock 93 cobra, even down to the 3.08 gears, and they didnt hook. His best 60 with them was 2.3 also. maybe you will have better luck, but I wasnt happy.

I dont think that I would discount the BBK intake so quick. You will almost always be the best off going with a custom intake in this situation but that really ends up depending on the most important thing, money. Although the BBK intake is by no means cheap it is still going to be substantially less that a custom set up and will flow much better than even a ported cobra intake. The split plenum design actually works fairly well with forced induction.

$600 versus $1000. if i'm spending that much on an intake, i'm not going to scrimp just to get something that will work "fairly well". 
when you're into the 10 second range, sheetmetal is the only way to go with turbos.

very true,that bbk is barely better than stock....in some tests i've read it didn't flow any better than any of the other artermarket intakes(including the cobra,gt40,etc.).....it certainly wouldn't be very much improvement over the cobra....the bbk is more of something you'd put on a mildly modded 5.0(heads,cam,etc.)
but on a car like his with forced induction a breadbox stlye is the way to go...don't waste your time with something that will only be slightly better,or not even better than what you have.......there are several available so it doesn't have to be custom....

I think that barely better than stock is a far reach at underestimating this intake. I am pretty sure that I recently read a test on it where it significantly outperformed a heavily modified cobra intake. I will look around though and make sure that I am not just dreaming this up.

in a forced induction application, such as a turbo car, the differences will be minimal.

exactly,either intake is a restriction on an f/i car....the bbk is a street/strip intake,designed for a typical bolt on car...the bbk would severly underperform on an f/i car,unless it was heavily modified...but why bother when there are tons of intakes made especially for a car like his...
i can guarantee you that the bbk is not a work of god or anything...in all the tests i've read,it pretty much flows and performs about the same as other intakes on the market,gt40/trick flow,edelbrock etc.....and fwiw i've been into the mustang scene for several years,and i don't know one person that reccomends it,or runs it...
