This debate will go on for years. It's all preference with the Boss vs. Stock. Some love it and some hate it. IMO, it wasn't worth the torque loss, so I went back with the stock intake. If you run the Boss, you'll see your big gains at 7700-7800 RPM's which is where it really shines. I couldn't bear the thought of spinning my motor that high just for an intake. But, a lot of guys don't mind...like Brent Yager.

Ditto. This is a Mustang not a Honda. The boss was designed for high-revs and has the "hardware" to support it. Lol.

We just tuned a BOSS intake to a 5.0 (no headers) car yesterday. Picked up 7hp & lost 15tq. We're moving forward with porting the Intake to measure gains today.

I agree with you. Spinning a stock valve train like that for extended periods is just asking for trouble.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.
