I have been a mechanic for over 40 year's and have done allmost all of them.The hardest part was the electrical holder's in the rear of the intake.
The install was the most trouble free I have ever done. Next I will have to word on some traction so I can go WOT on concrete.ΔΆ011 Mustang 5.0 Automatic,315 rear gear'sHear are some first impression's as I am running on the CAI tune and not the boss 302 tune. There used to be a 2 second lag when I floored it before the car would downshift any where from 55 to 85 MPH. Every day driveability seem's to be as good as stock if not a little better.The intake and tune seemed to cure a lot of the little quirk's of the stock car as it come's from the factory. The car rev's to 7500 allmost instantly before it shift's,there is no lag to it anywhere in the power band that I noticed. On concrete it is undriveable as on the 3th to 4th upshift it get's compleatly sideway's and I believe if I keep my foot in it it would do a compleat 360. I did my test run's on asphalt and it will kick the rear out quite a lot doing a WOT run's. I also didn't notice any gas mileage loss but havn't really drove it enough to tell yet. I did not notice any torque loss which surprised me. The mid band and low band performance is vastly improved and the top band will scare you. It will smoke the tire's for as long as you want to hold the pedel down. I don't have a dyno so have to go by seat of the pant's in rating it. The preformance improvement of this intake is hard to describe. I have been a mechanic for over 40 year's and have done intake's from the flathead to the hemi's. First the intake was the easiest I have ever done. Being an automatic the tune is different then the standard. First let me say thank's to Gus for writing 4 or 5 tune's for this car untill we got it right. When I wrote the first one I was running on the CAI tune because I couldn't load the 302 tune. 2011 5.0 Automatic 3.15 Magnaflow muffler delete's 9600 mile's This is a follow up on the first review I wrote on the intake.
