Background & Plans
Nearly done...

Using what amounts to a parts list from the 302R, 302S, and supporting vendors, I am hoping to create what I’m calling a 302SX.

FRPP did something similar when they tried to increase the performance of the 302S by adding an aluminator. Not really interested in the aluminator swap, but I like the experimental concept of finding a gap.

In my case, instead of pushing the 302S closer to the 302R, I am trying to push my LS closer to the 302S while maintaining road manners. (https://carbuzz.com/news/ford-mustang-boss-302sx-concept-appears-at-pri)
