| Boss intake installed!
I installed my boss intake and x pipe last night,
Thing is a monster now, Can't wait to take it to the track this weekend!
I would like to thank all the users here that have posted valuable info about the intake, made install a lot easier and didn't run into many problems.
Note for anyone planning on installing the boss intake: You definitely need safety goggles when removing the fuel feed line and be extra careful when mounting the purge valve on the front of the block as to make sure it is oriented correctly to where the electrical connection will reach and the plastic is semi delicate so don't break it! Lol

| I didn't really feel any noticeable torque loss. With the amount of gains u get up top whatever was lost isn't even an issue.

| I did retain the stock air intake, used a bama 91 race tune(no 93 in my area), and I can barely tell that there is a loss of torque, I love how it smoothed out the power band too. And yes the high end surge of power from around 5 or 6 all the way to 7800 is awesome. Definitely makes up for the minuit amount of torque loss.

I'm not sure what they set it for if it's stock or if you don't ask, but I had to ask them specifically on the tune specifics form for 7800.

Is their #8 cylinder warranty still in effect if the rev limit is raised? I believe my tune is set at 7,500rpm from bama however im going to call them up to raise it as well.

| I would verify if they'd still cover it if you ask them to tweak the tune certain ways than they usually would*

Worked for me, but some people have had good luck putting it on as one piece as well.

Sweet! Where'd you get the fuel rail covers? Did you pay the ridiculous 150+ or did you find a cheap solution?

Lol nice man, I would like to get a set but a couple pieces of plastic for the price is pretty bad. Definitely looks better with them tho.
