=== Boss 302 (Road Runner) variant {{anchor|Boss 302}}=== A higher performance variant of the Coyote, dubbed Road Runner internally by Ford, is produced under the Boss 302 moniker used for the resurrected Boss 302 Mustang for the 2012 model year.<ref name="roadrunner">{{cite web |author=Tom Wilson |title=2011 Ford Mustang 302 โ Inside The Boss |work=5.0 Mustang & Super Fords |url=http://www.mustang50magazine.com/techarticles/m5lp_1108_2011_ford_mustang_302/index.html |access-date=2011-12-31 |quote=Thankfully the Coyote team didn't mentally run off a butte because most of them segued into the RoadRunner teamโwhat's faster than a Coyote?--to produce the {{cvt|444|hp|kW|0}} Coyote derivative that powers the scintillating new Boss 302.}}</ref> The Boss 302 receives CNC ported heads cast in 356 aluminum providing additional airflow and strength, and a higher lift exhaust camshaft profile is used. Valvetrain components were lightened as much as possible, including the use of sodium filled exhaust valves, while strengthened powdered metal rods and forged aluminum pistons were added. Piston-cooling jets were also deleted, which are standard in the 5.0 model.<ref name="FVC1">{{cite press release |title=High-revving Ford 5.0-Liter V8 delivers power, speed, flexibility befitting the Boss name |url=http://media.fordvehicles.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=33066 |publisher=Ford |location=US |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100818142455/http://media.fordvehicles.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=33066 |archive-date=2010-08-18 |access-date=2010-08-15}}</ref> Exterior changes include a high-mount intake plenum (as opposed to the standard engine's low-mounted one) with shorter runners to improve high-rpm power. Power is increased from {{cvt|412|hp|kW|0}} to {{cvt|444|hp|kW|0}}, and torque drops from {{cvt|390|lbft|0}} to {{cvt|380|lbft|0}} due to the upgrades. The Boss's redline is increased to 7500 rpm, but has been verified stable up to 8400.<ref>{{cite web |title=Boxden.Com โ The urban web's front page |url=http://slumz.boxden.com/f22/2012-ford-mustang-boss-302-a-1501698/ |access-date=2017-09-17 |publisher=Slumz.boxden.com}}</ref>
