B.S. - I just got off the phone with Tousley Ford and their price is $399. That is not the reduced price as you mentioned. That is their price with FRPP today.

Until you buy it and it's in your hands you cannot say for sure lol. Like Said Ford is pretty cheesed

I had that whole discussion with Steve@Tousley. His pricing is $399. That is the FRPP pricing, not the standard Ford pricing.
$534.95 is price gouging.
I made a recommendation to said vendor and verified what he stated was indeed incorrect.

If they advertise that they will lose they're vendorship with FRPP, I dont make the rules. And now they're cost is pretty much that so i dont see how they wont be making any profit on it...

Tousley Ford is. Why don't you call them and verify pricing for yourself.
Like I said. Until it is bought , paid for and part in hand I doubt it.I had that whole discussion with Steve@Tousley. His pricing is $399. That is the FRPP pricing, not the standard Ford pricing.

Well Happy to say he is correct. Mine shipped out today and $395 from Steve at Tousley so stick that in your pipe and smoke it. If you all want to pay $549 go for it, cause someone is making a profit and being just plain GREEDY. I will be happy to post pictures next tuesday when I get it IN MY HANDS.
When I get my tax return tomorrow I will be ordering.
Doubt as you may. I think the community deserves the best price possible and I would hope you would feel the same way.
If you can get the same part for $150 less why wouldn't you?
I think people like to argue on this forum for the sake of arguing. Doesn't seem to be that way on other forums and I will probably start participating less here as a result.

No one is being greedy, its the price structures that were set by Ford Racing. Tousley is WHORING out the product
and wont be able to sell if for that price much longer, so anyone who wants $395 call them now!The pricing structures have changed, everyone will soon have to abide by the rules.. Tousley included

You are right I don't understand the rules FRPP lays out for it's dealers. One thing I know for sure is if you want a FRPP part and do a google search you will find at least 5 different prices from 5 different FRPP dealers. For me Tousley Ford has always been the lowest on parts and seems to really care about the Mustang community and passes what savings it can onto it's customers. So if Tousley is WHORING out the intake then I'm glad I got one of the WHORES before the prices change.

Tousley FTW. Iv gotten MANY parts from them for my Focus and plan to do the same for the Mustang.
Do they have support for the bearing caps as the aftermarket diff. covers do?
No they don't it has fins on the inside and outside for cooling and have spots to put in fill and drain plugs. Nice thing the vent can be moved to it. It's also the same cover used on 11 Shelby GT500.
It be fine unless you going to be doing full time drag racing with full slicks. Then yes used cover with bearing cap support screws. Never seen bearing cap failure on street car yet
I wouldn't mind getting engine oil cooler. If I remember in the first info on the 5.0 engine full thottle runs over 3500 rpm over long period heats the oil up fast.

I spoke to Steve at Tousley last night and he said he will continue to sell them at $395 till the cows come home. Hasn't heard about any "RULES" being laid out about pricing. So if you want one Tousley is the place.

Hmmm, let's see.....
Tousley $395
UPR $399
LRS $439
Blueovalindustries $475
JDM $535
Not a very difficult choice there.
We are not the only ones selling it for $535, respecting Ford racings price structure. American muscle is $549, Summit, Jegs, and others for $535 as well. Its just playing by the rules. I cant sell one for $399 and stay in buisness we dont sell parts to lose money, I will come down on my pricing if someone calls or do what I can do make a good deal but I will not advertise below Jobber and have my distributorship put in jeopardy.
Bottom line I dont give a shit who you spend your money with, you've had a hard on for my father and his company for many years. All I did here in this post was share information I got from Ford racing to let the good people at the S197 forum get the first heads up.

Actually, they are selling them for $439.99 w/o tune. The link you posted was with a BBR tune. $439 - http://www.latemodelrestoration.com...tang-50L-Ford-Racing-Boss-302-Intake-Manifold
I've got no dog in this fight. I understand you are doing your thing to respect Ford's MAP policy or whatever it is now. Thank you for supporting the S197 community.
