1st timer here,
I'm installing a Boss Manifold Intake and a AFE Cold Air Intake tomorrow on my 2011 F150 Super Crew. I know about the firewall tabs, the coolant line extension, and removing the "taped-on" cover of the boss, does anyone have any suggestions or tips on any other "gotchya's"?

Sorry didn't see your post before I started Patatewz. Started the install last night. Took 8hrs, but I know I could do it in 3-4 if I ever need to put the stock back on. I will go back and take some pics and and give a discription of what I did.... When you going to do the boss swap?

To Big Red..... Seems a little sluggish, but I have a check engine light. Trading emails with Mike@5star to figure out what I did wrong. The suspect is the stock intake has a purge control valve that has a vacuum line connected and an electrical connection. The Boss has the port for connecting the vacuum line but not for the elec connection. I zip-tied the elec connector up and out of the way. Waiting to hear from mike if the correct procedure. Took it out for drive after install. Initial thoughts... It's seems really loud, but didnt really get into it because it was 4am and didmt want to attract the attention of the local peace officers!!! Not sure if it's the Boss Intake of the CAI.
