[QUOTE="ford20, post: 12119583, member: 140884"] The Boss intake is good if you are looking for a better underhood appearance then the stock, and personally I like the way it looks and would do it in a heartbeat. Where the Boss intake really shines is in the high RPMs which for drag racing is where you want to be. You want to maximize your time in the upper RPM so that when you shift gears you are in your sweet spot which is where the stock intake fails. It starts to loose its power around 5000 RPM and continues you drop as the RPMs rise. So if you shift at 7000 RPM on the stock manifold (assuming you adjust your shift point with a tuner) you are in a lower power range then if you had the Boss intake. The Boss intakes as stated before continues to make power where the stock one doesn't so you can stay in the power band longer with more power, shift higher and remain in your sweet spot. Is it worth it for a street car? Some people say yes, some people say no. For me it is but I can't wait for the CJ intake to come out with reports of 25HP over the Boss manifold it certainly sounds interesting. Take off the assist spring or get a GT500 Clutch assembly. What happens is the spring is to strong to allow the clutch pedal to return to then engaged position. If you remove the spring the clutch pedal will return without much trouble. Like you are ever going to use it :poke: [/QUOTE]
