Legacy
Only available from 2012 to 2013, the S197 Ford Mustang Boss 302 represents one of the high-water marks for fifth-gen Mustang performance. And though the Boss 302 package included vital upgrades to the Mustang GT’s suspension, aerodynamic, and other key systems, the real Boss 302 magic was found under the hood. That’s because the 2012-13 Boss 302 Mustangs got a reworked version of the 5.0L Coyote V8 developed by Ford under the nickname “Road Runner.”
Borrowing heavily from Ford’s 302R racing program, the end result of Project Road Runner was a 444 horsepower, naturally aspirated. That made it the most powerful NA V8 motor to ever be stuffed into a Mustang. In other words, the Road Runner was a perfect powerplant for the upcoming 2012 Boss 302.
But suffice it to say, the Road Runner is far more than a Coyote with a tune. It boasts significant differences from the typical 5.0L Ford Modular V8 in a Mustang GT. It has a revised intake, stronger internals, and totally unique cylinder heads—all necessary to accommodate the Road Runner’s performance diet of high rpm and high compression.
We love to convert our horsepower into help for others in the Charleston community.
