The boss intake manifold does make the car a little faster but nothing compared to a cam. My point being is with just a intake and tune a 5.0 can trap what a camaro with a cam can. Im not bashing the camaro in anyway, I just think your information is a little off.
So a mustang with a tune and intake picks up 7mph? That's pretty nuts. I picked up 4mph with tune and exhaust.

Were talking LT headers, gears, torque converter, 15inch wheels and DR's, 1 piece driveshaft, springs and adj shocks, LCA's, adj panhard rod, rear end girdle, and tune. Thise mods will get you mid 11's in a auto car.
My buddy has a 2012 5.0 that's in the 11s at about 118mph, and all he's got is an E85 tune, injectors, 302 manifold, Jeg's cat deletes, 3" exhaust, with the only suspension mod being Eibach Sportline springs with LCA relocation brackets. Less then 2k in mods, trapping 118 running high 11s on a stock 255 series summer Pirelli. I'm not surprised at this dude's time, just his trap. 121 is hauling the mail with just basic stuff he's got done.
