Ford Racing Cobra Jet Intake Thread

[cloud9]

You did have the pulse ring installed with the headers when everything was tore apart right?

Nope

 

[ls110]

The FR site says that the manifold is not compatible with the strut tower brace. So do you just go without the brace?

 

[zzyzx]

In for the tech. I'm not going to blaze the trial on this, but when somebody has it all figured out... I'm in!

 

[gremlinsteve]

or you can use the gt500 brace if i heard correctly

The dyno numbers with the intake are 457rwhp @ 6700 rpm and 395 rwtq @ 5450 rpm . With the 1 7/8 longtubes , race exhaust and a tune it made 426 rwhp@ 6600 rpm and 376 rwtq @ 5000 . The power stays above 450 right to 7800 rpm where before it dropped off noticeably above 6700 rpm

Could you please post your dyno, or send it to me and I will host it for you and post it?

I'll be honest, your HP peak RPM doesn't make sense to me. A stock Boss peaks at 7400 RPM if I recall, so I'm confused.

You are correct , but we have dynoed several 12 Boss 302's and the power starts to drop off around 6700 rpm , but only by 3 to 5 HP , and as I said earlier I will post the dyno graph tomorrow as it is on the dyno computer at the dealership.

Here's Tim's dyno chart.

Thanks, guys!

Damn, that's a power curve you don't see very often, let alone on a Mustang. 8)

Bump that redline and let us see what it looks like off the right side of the graph!

 

[Justin]

very nice might have to get it at some point

 

[ArizonaBOSS]

Good job guys...keep building these and learning more about them so it's a snap to install and tune by the time I'm ready

 

[Giddyup]

What gains would you expect if you added the cj exhaust cams to the mix?

 

[mwilson7]

Even more!

 

[racered302]

Even more!

That's what I was referring too with the aluminator link. It seems they list some of the mods for the boss to make 500rwhp or close to it. I read somewhere that someone did a comp cam swap and picked up around 30+.

 

[gremlinsteve]

the questions i am seeing with those magazine saps is that they swapped out cams yes...but they also added a tune to the vehicle. so its not a "known" actual gain for just cam swap. i think they should have tuned the vehicle first getting a this is all we can get dyno pull, then add the new cams a retune. that way you have a decent baseline.

Agreed.

Well you have to redo the tune when you add the new cams. Especially when you are going from the stock cams to the Comp 191160 cams. I am really excited to see what the gains are when Comp can come up with some SPR cams and see what kind of gains can be had with those. Currently you are making some decent numbers with the 160's so I can only imagine the potential with a SPR type cam. It would be awesome to see what someone could do with the Livernois Big Bore short block, RGR stage 2 heads, some custom grind cams, pypes stepped headers, this IM, SCJ TB. With all of that I would love to see close to 600HP out of the motor.

 

[Big Vito]

Currently I would be happy with 550 from the motor.

Hi there,

New here!!!

I am in the quest to pass the 500 RWH mark...I am at 475 RWH as we speak with my Boss and eagerly waiting for the CJ intake to arrive at PBH for the install and tune. Keep you guys posted.

Manuel

Impressive!!

What have you added, done to get these numbers? From your photo, the motor appears to be N/A.
