Dealer cost or Dealer retail?

Retail. That part number is not available to order yet.

I'm on the sidelines anyway, so I can wait...

$258 sounds great, that means even a poor person like me can buy one and a TB at the same time. lol

That was the price he said I could buy for and he said as soon as it is available he can order it.

I talked to Sam at Bob Utter Ford in Tx. They helped me with my caliper brackets when most dealerships acted like I was nuts. They are great to deal with.

Good price, too bad it wont work with the stock CAI so thats an extra cost for people that dont have aftermarket. I still may consider it depending on the gains.

Who did this?

It will show backorder until 3/21.

This is pretty common when a new vehicle is about to ship, some part numbers get activated with really low prices. In the past I've bought things like new aluminum 4.6 blocks for $190. You get your parts, keep it on the low down, and no problem.

But in this case someone decided to get greedy and order 25 of them, mark the price up by a ridiculous 80%, and spam the forums about it. This pissed off the Ford racing guys who can't sell theirs until April 1st. So now all of the Boss parts are set to backorder status, ruined for everyone due to this person's greed. They didn't even do a good job of being greedy, could have bought assembled Boss longblocks for about $5k instead of piddly intake manifolds.

That sucks.. I guess you can't blame a company for trying to make a buck, but damn.. I hope that's not the real reason that they can't be ordered till next month.

It is exactly the reason unfortunately. It was bound to happen sooner then later but more in the community would have had the chance to get one before they shut down the ability to order.

My JLT will be for sale soon if I buy this procharger I am looking at

I tried to order that part number and Ford cancelled it. Didn't go backordered, just cancelled. So yeah, someone pissed off someone. And by the time it is available, I'll bet the price will be a bit different than it is now.
