boss intake

[Yagermeister]

Actually the CJ has an intake very similar to the Boss but moves the rpm range even higher

Exactly so you can be in the power band longer due to not staying in an RPM range as a road car would.

From what I've heard is that the CJ intake didn't extend it but rather moved it so if the Boss was 5400-7800, the CJ is 5700- 8100 now.

Hmm either way I'm sure the engineers at Ford are a lot smarter than I and know what would be best lol.

There is a setting in the tune (10 second item you mentioned) from Ford that is easily bypassed in the tune. Make sure your tuner changes this no matter what you do to your car.

And the Boss has the same issues. Believe it or not, the GT500 has the same issues with the TR6060. A lot of it has to do with the remote shifting.

stiffer motor mounts.

Hmmmmmm don't have any problem with mine shifting at 8k rpms and before my build I was shifting at 7700 rpms.

Thats weird cause neither do I.

Shifting over 7500 ftw!

Everyone is not going to have the problem foos, but gear lockout is very common with remote shift transmissions.

Essentially, a remote shift transmission such as the MT82 and TR6060, are operated by shifter linkage outside the tail housing. The shifting mechanisms inside the transmission differ from a direct shift like a T56.

Direct shift transmissions such as the T56 have a fully enclosed tail shaft providing much more solidity and a "direct shift" from gear to gear. Again, the shifter mechanism is different.

The actual gear structure from a TR6060 and T56 are the same, but the way it's shifted is different. With a less supportive shifting mechanism, you are more prone to gear lockout at higher RPM's.

Everyone is saying HP gains of 7 w/ boss intake? I was under the impression that the boss intakes gave you upwards of 40ish? But sacrificed tq? Only thing I can think of is someone who has all bolt ons but uses the stock intake manifold post dyno #s or better yet track times and someone else do the same but who has a boss intake on their car.... we have any two people with the same mods other than intakes?

We just finished up doing some testing with a boss intake ported and unported. Results to follow but I will say that apples for apples nothing but a stock boss intake and a corrected tune you gaine around 5 hp up top but loose as much as 20 ft lbs down low. Now ported boss is another story...

Also we plan to do some testing with the stock intake ported and not. Keep your eyes peeled for the results!

Ported stock im could be interesting.

I may be interested in ported stock as well
