Ford Racing Boss 302R Intake Manifold - AmericanMuscle Pre-Order

We dyno'd 58RWHP increase at 7400RPM on this manifold! If you're naturally aspirated, you will lose a little bit of low and mid-range power/torque. The whole curve is alot smoother, and you'll still pick up the 50-60RWHP above 7000. You start gaining power around 6000-6500. Supercharger, turbo and nitrous applications will probably gain all of the low-midrange back plus plenty more!



Ford Racing 2012 BOSS 302R Intake Manifold (11+ GT) - REDUCED PRICING!! $499.99

GET YOUR NAME ON THE PRE-ORDER LIST!

So for anyone who hasn't heard the rumble on the streets, the 2012 Boss Intake Manifold is going to be in your neighborhood soon! We got word from our boys over at Ford Racing that they're putting the finishing touches on these manifolds, and will have them in your hand in April. This bad boy is going to wake up ANY 2011 GT looking for an fairly easy mod to add a ton of power.

Made from lightweight composite, you know this manifold isn't going to have ANY heat soak issues. Forced induction guys, I know you're excited right now! This is going to be a bad *** system for centrifugal supercharged, turbo or nitrous-injected 2011 Mustangs.

We're working with Ford right now to get a demo unit. We'll update this thread as soon as we get something. You can bet we'll be doing third-party dyno testing on this, and we'll keep it updated right here. We'll also be offering Bama Custom Tune updates for all you Free Tunes for Life members!

If you're planning on purchasing this manifold - what mods are you going to run with it? Intake? Long tubes? Cams? DISCUSS BELOW!

Not a problem! We're working on those dyno numbers! I have a feeling they'll be very good (even for a CAI-only car), and especially with the addition of long tubes, cams, forced induction, etc.

Define "very good" please. For a car that already has a CAI, tune, and OR/X, do you think just bolting this on will be good for 5, 10, 20 rwhp? I understand that you don't have one and that the dyno will tell the gains, but what does Chris Rose *think* these intakes will provide as far as gains? Also, will the strut tower brace clear this thing?

I think you'll need the 2010 TP/2011 V6PP/Boss STB. It is higher in the middle to clear the intake plenums in those cars...

From what I've seen so far, it's reasonable to expect that a car with nothing other than a CAI/Tune and Off-Road X-Pipe would gain maybe 10-15 RWHP or so? Maybe 15-20RWHP with longtubes or cams? I could see a forced induction vehicle seeing as high as 30-40RWHP upper RPM's. I'm gonna shoot low, rather than high. I'd rather be pleasantly surprised.

These numbers could be way off-base, but that's what I'm expecting, based off of how manifolds reacted with the 3v, and how much of a restriction I think this manifold is for the 4v.

I'm pretty sure strut tower brace fitment won't be an issue (with the 2010 Track Package / 2011 V6 Premium Package / Boss strut tower braces as mentioned above). It looks like there's even a channel for it "carved" into the top of the manifold.

The gauge cluster should be up on our site for preorder this week. I'm working on availability dates on them too, but I'd assume they'd be about the same time as the intake manifold.

The side exhaust, we're still waiting on information from Ford racing.

Just to clarify, I don't believe the 5.0 STB will fit this intake. If you have a 2011 5.0 with 19" wheels/BBP, you will need to switch to the 2010 TP/2011 V6 PP/2012 Boss 302-style brace if you want to keep the STB.

Interested to see the numbers, I just wish it didn't look like the one that comes on the Boss. If it was plain or said Ford Racing on it, I'd prefer it.

I was wondering the same thing. I wonder if it will be like the Recaro seat option sold through FRPP. Just replaces the Boss embroidery with the Ford Racing logo.

Call it OCD, but I don't want to stick a bunch of Boss-branded items on my car if it's not. If the parts don't have a logo on them that's one thing, but for items like this, I'd prefer it not say Boss 302 on it.

Just my $.02
