Hello from Texas
Received my first 5.0 Brembo and love it. Black on Black. So far I've tinted the windows, Roush CAI and AB Exhaust from Stage 3, added the louver side window covers and replaced the rear spoiler with the GT500 style. I plan on replacing the front and rear valance, the hood with ram air and once I receive a tuner, putting the BOSS 302 intake manifold on it. I would like to eventually lower it as well.

Hey Kona,
I've got the Boss 302 HF Intake Manifold in the box, but the SCT tuner came in defective. What exactly did you have to do to put the intake manifold on and how hard was it. Also, was there a special or custom tune for it??

I did my install based off of these instructions (just ignore the nitrous) and it was pretty easy, just take your time...

As for the parts just get a M8x1.25 bolt with some washers, 2 feet of fuel/emissions hose, & some hose clamps... Those kits are a total rip off... This works great and costs less than $10. Peace

Includes the following Ford Service Parts required to install Boss 302 intake on base 5.0L Mustang GT engine:

Awesome, thanks brother. I was a little leary about buying the setup, but the reviews were good and it appeared to be stock. Once I get the SCT back, I hear Stage 3 has the custom tune for it. I'll need to get a custom tune for it prior to tearing my engine apart.

Welcome, I just joined up myself. I was on a different mustang forum for a while, but have noticed there are more members closer to my area on this forum. I bought a '12 GT premium with 3.73s and the Brembo package back in May. I have a few minor mods and am looking for a dyno shop in Austin that is familiar with the new 5.0 motors. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the input. It's good to know there are some knowledgeable tuners not too far away. So, for those of you that have been on the dyno, what A/F ratio is considered safe or normal for these motors?

Hey Kona,
Finally got the Boss 302 installed with the I stall kit so didn't need any fuel line or Gerry rigging. The package didn't come with any instructions so the video you provided was a great help until it came to those lines. I put my head together and figured it out. So far, with the SCT custom tune, it purrs like a kitten but I feel I need to get to the dyno.
Thanks for your previous help and input.
