I can tell you the factory air intake is extremely good in the 18-up GT so you may be experiencing hot intake temps because of the roush cold air is taking in more hot air if you live in a hotter climate. Other than that it could be so many things but I would look for a vacuum leak or maybe a loose hose coupler on the intake. Did this start after the cold air intake?

I've had the cold air intake for over a year and for the most part it's been running really strong especially since I added the Roush axle back exhaust wich I was very surprised over cause I didn't think that addition would help performance wise but it seemed to compliment well ..Cold air temps have been low I live in New Jersey ..I added the axle back in June

Well then I would be looking for a loose coupler or vacuum leak. And if this is a custom tune I would contact the tuner. They will likely have you do a datalog with the handheld tuner so they can look at fuel trims, timing, ect.... If you dont have a custom tune I highly recommend one on the 18-up cars. It really wakes them up and will likely fix your issue.

I have a Roush tune that was done by the dealer ... I know I could take it back to them ..just trying to avoid that cause I won't have an appointment for at least a couple of weeks .. but do you think a custom tune would be better than a Roush ? .. I got the Roush trying to be smart to hold the warranty but at this point I don't care anymore..it's my first toy in 20 years so I'm just having fun with it .. before this I always mustangs 5.0's from the 80's and 90 fox body's a 70 Mach 1 even a viper so I get the gist but just playing catch-up on the tech so to speak

Yes a custom tune is way better. The roush factory style tune is a very safe tune an there is power left on the table. I suggest Lund Racing or Palm Beach Dyno. Those are your 2 top coyote tuners. I have a 16 Gt myself and use Lund.

I'll search for a vacuum leak sounds like the most probable cause being that I feel like I lost so much bottom end torque..

Very well could be. Check the mass air flow sensor also. Make sure it is plugged in and the screws are tight.

Ok ���� will do ... if I have any questions while I'm work on this can I text you back at this number ? I'm Tim by the way

Hey Tim yes you can just message me back here. I will leave the question open.

Thanks ����
