Going to install Boss intake this weekend, tips?

[MikeLTDLX]

If the weather permits, I am going to finally get this Boss intake on my car. Any tips from people that have done it? Any special tools needed?

Thanks,

Mike

Very easy and straight forward. If you want I can get you the torque spec and sequence for the manifold, but besides that you will be done in about 15 mins.

Did you buy the cheap install kit or the ford one?

as said, its pretty straight forward...i had the install doc on my computer next to my car and it took about an hour or so.

when you unhook the fuel like, quite a bit flows out so have a rag wrapped around to catch it all.

i wish i never sold mine, just kept it in case i ever wanted to put it back on.

Ok, cool. I bought the cheapo install kit from LMR.

X2 on having a rag or two in hand, for when you disconnect the fuel line.

X3 ... when i disconnected mine I got a face full of fuel that resulted in a quite a few profanities and a broken pair of glasses :nonono:

lol, learning to work on cars is an experience. Next time you wont disconnect a line without wondering if its under pressure though.

Did anyone do the Ford procedure and run the car out of gas first?

 

[seank]

That is in there probably just to keep the lawyers happy. Limiting the amount of fuel released when you disconnect the supply line.

I plan on installing mine tomorrow too along with all my other parts!

No. I just throw a rag under to catch it then after spray a little water on it to clean up

yeah i just wrapped up a rag or two around the line when I did the install, I was also installing the nx plate kit that day as well.

 

[MikeLTDLX]

Ok, well it looks easy. I don't think my King Kong sized torque wrench does inch/pounds though. I may just have to go by instinct on that one.

Yeah, well I took bad advice from the internet.

Funny story, this is exactly what I was going to do since I was under the impression this is ALWAYS what you do prior to disconnecting a fuel line. I was told by pretty much everyone that had done the install at that time that "the line was not under that much pressure" and that "running the car out of gas was completely overkill." Lesson learned the hard way ... never take advice from the internet when you know you're right in the first place.

What made you decide on the intake finally?
Cant wait to to see your Drag slip before and after.
