15 Minutes with Dave Pericak, Mustang Chief Engineer

Interview by MM&FF Editor, Evan J. SmithES: Dave, exactly how did you achieve 444 horsepower on the Boss and how many will be built?
DP: Evan, when it comes to the engine, the first thing was the intake. We developed one that was fitting of a track car. It has a "runner-in-a-box" design with optimized plenum and runners for increased rpm and power. It will allow for fast airflow that's evenly distributed and will allow the Boss to rev to 7,500 rpm. You'll see the intake is unique, it sits higher, like a bug with legs. Our intent was to knock it out of the park. We minimize the turns so you don't starve the engine. New redline is 7,500 rpm, up from 7,000
