Looking forward to the kit options! Keep up the great work!

Where can I buy that ford logo for my intake. Looks nice!I agree. The car can use a wire tuck badly but with the black manifold runners and the custom tinted lid we made for the aid box it looks sinister under the hood.

:cheers:HPTuners only....no special functionality yet for Fords so I have to do it the old fashioned way. ;-)
Google always wins.
PS. I am not a Ford guy, the S550 caught my attention, the Focus RS and new Raptor will also be in my garage.....so don't be too hard on me, I am slowly joining the club.
edit: So, the whistle is the IMRC solenoid or valves. Every time they open, squeaks pretty loudly. When I give it enough air load they open and squeak and when it's idling and I shut the car off they are open at rest, so when I kill it they squeak open. I bet the Cobra Jet manifold doesn't squeak, lol.
Thanks Nick for the honest reply:cheers:We still have some work to do. The weather has not been on our side. Stupid cold and it snowed yesterday. I will let everyone know when the GT350 manifold tune is for sale. We wont let it go unless it's perfect.
Unfortunately that's probably not going to happen. I can tell you for almost certain that the gains from a Boss or CJ will be slightly higher than the GT350 intake due to the shorter runners and will carry power a little higher in the RPMs. You will also see a larger drop in low end torque as a result of the shorter runners and lack of runner controls. The CJ is best for building a maximum effort, high revving engine combination but I feel the GT350 manifold provides the perfect balance of performance and drivability plus it fits easily under the hood of our 2015. The Boss and CJ require more effort to fit as may already know.Nick, you'd go straight to epic hero status if you could include a Boss 302 IM as well as a CJ setup in this comparo.
I can see the cj making more but im not sure the boss will. This is going to be a boss option that works and does fit with no modifications. This boss version might be better power wise than the gt350.Unfortunately that's probably not going to happen.

The Edelbrock manifold was my #1 interest until I saw the GT350 manifold pop up on Ford Performance. Usually when they list an OEM part like that it's because it works!I can see the cj making more but im not sure the boss will. This is going to be a boss option that works and does fit with no modifications. Im not sure this is any better power wise than the gt350. At least it keeps the low end too unlike the boss. You get cake and get to eat it too.

People are asking about the GT350 CAI mostly due to the OEM look, fit and finish. We will be testing the GT350 CAI with the GT350 manifold and TB to see if its worth any power and or make sure it doesn't loose any over our current Airaid setup with MAF restrictor removed. Your existing JLT should work just fine with a GT350 manifold and TB swap. You just need a 4" rubber coupler and possibly one larger hose clamp to match.Maybe i'm missing something here, so I apologize if so..I keep seeing people mention the gt350 CAI.. I have a JLT intake on my GT currently.. are the aftermarket intakes that much different for the GT350 vs the regular GT's? And if so, why wouldn't we be able to put the GT350 intake right on, I would assume it would all fit without a problem?
