When the Mod Bug bites, it bites hard :-)

Was the loss extremely noticable? Was it worth the Tq loss? I Plan on going the same route that you have except for the headers.

I have 3:31's. It sounds like 3:73's are needed for the Boss intake.

Arent you supposed to rev the piss out of it going down the track? LOL

i know one thing, i wont be putting the boss intake on with my Paxton. As it is the stock IM + Centrificals make peak power at 7300-7400. Adding a Boss IM will raise peak RPM power to 8K+.

I can see where a Boss intake wouldnt be good for that powerband. You should sale me yours now.
