I've still not had it happen to me...even when I try to engage it...

cuz you're Granny shifting, not double-clutching like you should

maybe they revised the settings in the newer models, used to happen to me a dozen times a day, it basically locks the 2nd gear gate and you shift into 4th, most ridiculous concept ever.

The airaid was only slightly ahead of the pack top end (peak), not enough to brag about.. maybe 1-3 hp. However, the mid-range the air-aid walked on the rest of the competition in regards to torque.

The Airaid and JLT came out on top in multiple tests."

JLT is definately the best intake, and the only that fits the boss manifold too

Yeah. I noticed it on vettes I drove...still haven't gotten it to kick in on the stang. Might be that I havent really driven in traffic yet...plus with 3.73s, I think I get out of the lock rev range pretty quickly.

Good info--you happy you went with the boss IM?

Red370 · 09-20-2011, 02:44 PM

I like the look of the boss mani, but from what i've read, it kills your low end torque and only increases power above 5k, is this true?

I've heard the same...curious how it is with a good tune though

Installed Airaid CAI and Bama 93 Race tune - Ford Mustang Forums

JLT makes good stuff. I'd also recommend getting the JLT Oil Separator.

I think they did make some revisions to the skip shift for the 2012 cars, but it's still a good thing to get rid of.

the tq loss is negligible, i didnt even feel it. After 3 datalogs with BBR they corrected all tq loss, there is gains under the curve, then it ******* skyrockets around 6700rpm...my redline was bumped to 7500 so I made power all the way up to that...let me see if i can find the dyno graph in my flash

A local guy here had the 302 IM on his car. There is a slight hit to low end power but the gains at the top end are substantial.

With a tune, you have silly gains of like +45 whp at 7k where the stock manifold has dropped off and the Boss IM just keeps pulling.
