Hm.. so why everyone reports of temperatures being higher then?

I've had the PP2 installed for about 15K miles now. There are plenty of leaks between the airbox and the hood. I have attached some photos of the airbox and the underside of the hood. (I was in a hurry and the pics are not the greatest...) But it is easy to see that there are many gaps. I didn't add pointers and text to the photos, but generally they show contact and rubbing points, which are usually accompanied by dust settling and rubber gaps on either side of the contact. It would seem that the GT350 hood is quite a bit different than the GT hood.
If I pulled the trigger on pp2 I would think of covering it with something on top.I've had the PP2 installed for about 15K miles now. There are plenty of leaks between the airbox and the hood.

Also, I was surprised at how narrow the snorkel is from the bottom of the airbox to the grill.
That’s definitely not true. It’s dark out now and I put a small light in the air box and closed the hood. It’s clear that the drivers side vent almost entirely overlaps with the airbox. This makes sense because as mentioned above if you put your hand over the vent after driving it’s cool, whereas the other vent is venting hot air. It’s nice that the engine can in part breathe through that “nostril” with the GT350 airbox.
It is just a bad photo. There is actually paint transfer on the front lip of the airbox gasket. The front of the airbox goes past the insulator pad and touches the paint at the front of the hood.
There has only been one revision, and it's been well over a year ago at this point. When you download the calibration you are getting the most recent file.
Couldn't agree more...spoke to Ford Performance last week and they said they have no intent of allowing the NLS to be disabled.
I had the Barton in my '14, (Ford Racing...made by Barton) can't speak for the Steeda but really liked the feel of the Barton...very positive. you know you're in. there was some info that in '17, Ford actually went to a Steeda design. there was a pic shown with Ford part # on the poly bushing. Ford has no comment.
sometimes, I think Ford Performance pays people not to think...history would prove me right. however, as SVT once told me, it's the "Bean Counters" that they have to deal with...dmanCouldn't agree more...spoke to Ford Performance last week and they said they have no intent of allowing the NLS to be disabled.
The CAI for the 2018's from Roush and what looks to be the same one used for the 2018 Supercharger kit has an enclosed filter box. Wondering if it is backwards compatible with my 2015 and if it can be used with the PP2.
(EDIT) Chatted with Ford Performance and they said the 2018 CAI is not compatible with PP2.

I've been running the Steeda for a about a week. There was a significant increase in the NVH. Droning and loud especially around 3,000. After 10 minutes in the car I just wanted to park and get out. Tried adding a foam rubber buffer between the mount and the chassis. That knocked down about 60-75% of the new NVH but was still enough to notice over the loud stereo. Switched back to stock last night... NVH went right back to normal.
yikes! doesn't sound positive. notice any improvement in shifts? only time I noticed NVH was in neutral sitting still. it was a '14 and I sound proofed the console area...
