Would a 2012 GT with intake, cat-back exhaust, and bama race tune be putting down around the same HP as a stock Boss 302?

Yes....

So would a bone stock GT with nothing but a tune.

--AND--

The GT would make more torque.

Welcome...

You should know though. The GT will still not out perform the Boss on a race track.

Yeah, the main points with the 302 are the weight loss and the adjustable suspension.
