Boss 302 Intake has arrived. Fitment and dyno coming!!!!

[bpmurr]

I also wanted to add that I doubt that I will get back on the dyno with the car this week and the following week we are on vacation, so it might be the first week of March before I can get some more tuning done on the car. We are slammed with work and I need to get this work out of here before we leave on vacation. If I do get a chance or a late evening to put it back on the dyno and do some more tuning I will let you guys know.

Thanks,

JJ

Any plans on picking up the stock Boss intake tube for now just to get a better angle for the CAI?

BBR seems to have gotten it a bit better in this picture. This looks to be the JLT intake as well

Yeah, it looks like BBR rotated the whole JLT assembly a little bit and the filter is a little higher and the MAF sensor is lower. Notice how in JJ's picture the MAF is above the flat area in the front and BBR's is below.

Here is a quick video of a 3rd gear pull into 4th. The audio is cutting out and ahead of the video for some reason but you will get to see where the rpm falls after the shift. Taking it to 7500-7600 on this pull. Works pretty darn good if I must say so myself.

Holy cow, what gears are in that thing? is that the 3.73s? I was thinking i'd get 4.10s in my 2012 asap but maybe that would be too much after seeing this.

I would really like to see some before/after 1/4 mile numbers for this, dyno racing is all well and good but that is what interests me.

You guys are going off about the stock valve train.

I will test it out for you March 3rd 72-7800 rpms rowing gears

Well regardless this "may" be a better mounting method for us JLT's as long as the hood can still close

 

[JJ@WMS]

You can mount the JLT better but you will have to cut a bit off the end and I didnt want to do that to ours. I like the lip it has on the end that helps secure the silicone adaptor and didnt want to get rid of that. I doubt our setup has any affect on it making power.

OK thanks for the insight JJ!

I wasn't saying either company's installation method was flawed. I was just pointing out what I immediately saw as the difference. BBR's method definitely looks like the air flow would be a much straighter shot instead of that extreme last minute bend WMS's takes. Good job to both companies for making something work out of the box with this intake manifold.

The correct hose for a 2012 Boss is part number CR3Z-9B659-B , list price is $94.83

And its available...

Got one on the way to test the stock CAI with K&N drop in with this intake.

Exactly what I wanted to hear!

For those worrying about revving to 7500, Rick@Livernois posted in another thread that their shop car has stock cams and springs and has done over 120 track passes and 50 dyno runs shifting at 7800. Unless they got a freak motor, that makes me think the valvetrain can handle a 7500 rpm redline all day.

 

[Wicked97]

Just an FYI guys.

7800 RPM is the max these things will rev too. There is a hard coded limiter @7800. This is direct from ford racings mouth.

We tried to get around and no luck. so i dont think anyone has to worry about going to 8000

That might be somewhat refreshing. They set that in there for a reason...

FAIL (on fords part)

we would have ours up over 8500 if we could. with proper valvetrain this motor could go way north of 8000 rpm

major fail on fords part.

They probably know more than anyone what the actual limits are. It's probably there for a reason.

I wonder if Ford Racing deemed that the absolute max for the stock valvetrain before the motor quits...?

 

[05yellowgt]

That is probably the main reason that the 302R motors also have a 7500 rpm redline, the ECU just won't support more.

It probably has more to do with the ECU programmers and engineers programming not taking into account for that much higher of a rev limit because it was not a part of the design parameters given to them.
