Default Intake Solution to go with Cobra Jet setup

Wondering if anyone as put a cobra jet setup on your 2015-2017 truck. Ive got the intake, gt500 tb, and a jlt for a s197 mustang, but with the truck being a map setup and dual vacuum ports on the intake, how has everyone went about doing this swap. I dont want to run the setup that adapts down to the stock throttle body, i see that as being nothing more then a boss intake. What was you soultion to the intake issue?

It is not a Boss intake. When I installed the Cobra jet on my Mustang, the throttle body electrical plug had to changed to mate up with it the GT 500 throttle body.

you must have misread what i was saying, its nothing morr then a boss intake if you do like stage 3 does and puts the stock throttle body back on it.

That was an absolute waste of time, the only thing that lead to was Ken Osborne from OZ Tuning pushing the boss intake out there like its a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, Theres no point and I won't buy a Boss intake when I have the Cobra Jet.

Ken is a very good tuner that really knows what setups work, I was in the same boat as you i had a complete cj setup laying around from a s550 build with a ford racing twin 65mm and a s550 cobra jet jlt intake that I'm pretty sure would of worked with a bit of cutting and also buying a truck jlt intake and basicly making one out of the two. That being said i decided to sell it and go with the boss instead even though we have a coyote and its similar to what is in the mustang it is not the same we have less compression and the truck's cams are by far less agressive. I believe ken has dyno sheets where they only got like 5-10whp from a boss to cj setup mind you on a truck with gt cams which are more aggressive then what you have on right now and driveability will suffer with the twin throttle body. It's not that i'm telling you its not worth or don't do it that's up to you, but before you go on with it reach out to some tuners and see who is actually willing to tune your truck on a cj setup.

VMP did a cobra jet f150. Might be worth giving them a call.

Oops, just realized that was a 12th gen in the video. Probably worth giving them a shout anyway.
