boss intake
so I am thinking about buying a boss intake. I already have a jlt cold air headers bbk shorties and muffles with sct 93 octane tune. will the tune I have support the intake or should I buy the latemodelrestoration set up that comes with a tune? also does anyone know if trickflow or bbk plan on make a intake for the 5.0 anytime soon?
|
I have boss intake. I personally like it. I make more hp but I didnt gain really any torque from it. I have almost same mods as you
|
what tune are you using

i like mine. did lts too to offset the tq loss
|
I would do a cobra jet if I did it all over again.
|
boss intake requires different cold air and throttle body
|
sorry I mean cobra jet intake
|
what about other intakes like bbk trick flow etc any info on that
|
I find it hard to believe no one besides ford has made a intake for the 5.0 engine
|
I'd do stock intake. Lol
|
MMR makes a bad ass sheet metal intake for the 5.0. I am personally not a fan of the boss intake for a bolt on car.
|
I want a boss intake mostly because I like the look. Plus would be helpful with autocross

This debate will go on for years. It's all preference with the Boss vs. Stock. Some love it and some hate it. IMO, it wasn't worth the torque loss, so I went back with the stock intake. If you run the Boss, you'll see your big gains at 7700-7800 RPM's which is where it really shines. I couldn't bear the thought of spinning my motor that high just for an intake. But, a lot of guys don't mind...like Brent Yager.

We just tuned a BOSS intake to a 5.0 (no headers) car yesterday. Picked up 7hp & lost 15tq. We're moving forward with porting the Intake to measure gains today.
|
How about throught the curve?
|
My car with the Boss IM and no headers at the time netted me 13 HP and lost 22 FT LBS

if its good enough for a boss must be good enough for just a 5.0 ;)

Boss intake here and 32,000 miles and no issues shifting the auto at 7750-7800. If you shift any lower you are wasting the Boss intake. You also need to gear it properly to match the goals of your car.
|
Oh boy. I just can't do it man.. no doubt these 5.0s are tuff, I just got bad luck lol. If anyone is willing to run them that high there's no comparison. More power to you brotha! 32k on yours and no problems reassures me how much of a beating they can take. You need to post that around more often :)
|
150-175 passes in the car at the track and a few road racing events too ;)
|
i liked my boss intake when i had it, i say if you stay NA, go for it.
i didnt notice any tq loss down low and seemed to not stop pulling up top until switching gears. even with my booboo manual tranny, it was all good. maybe i got one of the good ones!! |
I want to see what a dyno tune will get me before I go boss. Losing up to 15+ ft/lbs and only gaining half that in HP between 7500-7800 is silly to me. You are in the 7500-7800 rpms for less than half a second. Don't see where 7hp more up there will do any good. I am interested to see the curve gains from Tim though. That's what really counts.
|
thanks
|
thanks everyone for info
|
There is a reason why they put them on the road cars (boss and boss ls) and not the drag car (CJ). Danny your right your only in that RPM range for a short time in a drag race but you could be in that RPM range for a good amount of time on a road course. If anyone doesn't want theirs I'll take it off thier hands lol
|
how did you get a picture to pop up when you post
|
Actually the CJ has an intake very similar to the Boss but moves the rpm range even higher
