The Boss intake is Good. very good.
The Boss is 5 tenths of a second faster in the quarter mile and the only performance impacting difference between the two vehicles is two exhaust cams and the intake. You do not need Gobs of Torque to have a good quarter mile time. Ferrari's turn great quarter mile times and they have little torque in comparison. A Ferrari California with similar horsepower to our modded vehicles has less torque, weighs more and turns an 11.7. It is not all traction control. 90% of a Quarter mile run is done above 6000 rpm That's where you need your torque. The Boss increases your horsepower and moves your torque curve to the right. It picks up torque and horsepowere starting at 4500 rpm all the way to redline. This stuff about there is only more horsepower at 6500 rpm is nonsense. While it is maybe not the best mod for an automatic with 3.31's but definitely an improvement on a manual with 3.73's. I have a fully modded naturally aspirated build with ported heads and comp cams so I take full advantage of the manifolds capabiliities but I have seen others with only the manifold and a tune and they do quite well and better than stock, with very little noticeable torque loss down low.

:nonono: cant fix stupid...
Like others and myself have said the stock intake is better below ~6,800k rpm which is where a street car lives. This is on a non FI car of coarse. Both intakes have very distinct uses, which is why its on the boss to begin with since it is ment to be a track car (not a dragstrip).
