This was an interesting read since I learned on my 6-71 years back that a boosted motor can push oil into the intake via the pcv
Oil added into your cylinder equals detonation then boom.
On a computer controlled car though as most know if the car starts to detonate it will pull timing out and loose power.
I know I read somewhere that some of the guys with newer challengers etc are putting a catch can or oil seperator in line to prevent spark knock and retarding of the timing.
Sounds like our ss motors may not have this issue though?

Correct the 6.1 hemi seems have issues with any aftermarket intake even molar version and sadly their computer system is about as dated as any out there
Neighbor had sooo many issues dealer finally bought it back
He now owns a boss mustang track edition and I must say....it's reason I'm returning my SS to stock for trade in

Eco have you had a chance to run yours in the quarter
how does the boss track edition compare to the gt500 or new 5.0 in the quarter.
Guy in our club just sold his 03 terminator Whipple charged 700 rwhp and bought a gt 500 not as much power but looks nicer

I've yet buy the boss been restoring my HHR to stock for trade in
Figured I'd sell parts from it to spend on tires for boss
Compared to a gt500 it's more streetable as daily driver BUT suspension is lil firmer to me than GT500
The coyote motor is amazing throughout powerband to me downfall is transmission...

The mustang you are talking about, that's the one without backseats and has the horizontal shock towers? Test drive one of these, power everywhere. Seemed like the suspension was so tight.. I felt like it would rattle apart like the old vettes.
