Meh, maybe I was fooled into believing ~150 lbs extra weight would have made such a difference in trap speed. You don't think that having an adult passenger would slow you down that much? I mean its gotta do something to trap speed and time.
Either way back to the original point, peak power still comes well under 7600

I originally asked the question about the Boss 302 Intake Manifold on a 2013 GT.
I have a 3.73 rear and a 6 Speed manual. I neglected to clearly mention these two features in my initial write up.
My mods are going to be a JLT 107mm CAI and a good performance tune. No other mods and the car will never be taken to the track.. Several people have mentioned a Boss 302 Intake as a consideration. From my research and from this discussion it looks like it would be a waste on this car. I would not risk this motor by driving above 7000 rpm.
Any thoughts on this?

I have 6spd manual with 3.31's it's a little softer down low with the Boss Intake. But top end more than makes up for it. You have 3.73's you might not feel the loss down low with the gears. If you go Boss intake the CAI you get won't work. If you have the factory strut bar, it won't work either. Performance wise, I think you could get more Out of other mods. But if you plan on showing your car, it definitely looks awesome under the hood.
