  1. Boss 302S Race Wheels and Tires

    You spotted it. Normally any spacer should be thin enough to allow the hub to center the wheel and if it isn't the spacer should have a ring built into it to center the wheel. By using the hub to center the wheel you not only assure the wheel is properly center but it takes most of the shear...
  2. Eliminate Buffeting w/ Rear Seat Out?

    If you move the battery to the trunk you should put a bulk head in the pass through. If done like I did it will be stronger than the Boss LS x brace. Many sanctioning bodies require a bulk head if the battery is in the trunk for safety reasons.
  3. Rear Tower Brace Differences?

    Both are worthless extra weight. There simply is not any load on that part of the chassis that those bars can act against. Throw some wheel weights in your trunk will do the same thing add weight and lighten your wallet. If you want to do something close the pass through either with the Boss LS...
  4. Front lower control arm bushings

    Hey Teamsketch my car is 2010 so it doesn't have the electronic rack. I love what the bushings do to the steering feel. I wasn't crazy about the install. Too bad the electronic rack can't just be reprogrammed.
  5. lower control arm to strut bolts

    Where does it say they are torque to yield bolts?Many single use bolts are specified that only because they come with loc-tite pre-applied. If you put new loc-tite on them they are fine to use again. And Nylocs can be used many times before they are used up.
  6. Eibach Multi Pro R2 ...debating...input?

    Rehagen runs Multimatic.You can get good results from the R2. Buy them from MM with their caster camber plate and custom spring rates and you'll very happy. The problem is Eibach has their heads up their you know what at the moment, doesn't mean they don't make a quality product just they...
  7. Run NO REAR SWAY

    You have to know the spring rates they run, otherwise running or not running a sway bar means nothing. Roush track pack runs a 425 lbs front 375 lbs rear spring that is a lot more than the Boss and needs less rear sway bar. Dean told me that at Rehagen they start with 550 lbs fronts and 350 lbs...
  8. Front Seat Belt removal with Harness install

    I installed Recaro seats not Ford seats and you can get all the electronics to work fine with them a bit of work swapping everything over. I did buy the test resistors to turn off the side airbag warning light. All it would take to install race harness is to trick the switch in the belt you...
  9. Kenny Brown G-Stream Wing Install

    The stock fenders are steel on my 2010 they seem very light hardly 20 pounds since they are very thin and have no reinforcement.Here are a couple wing mounts.The 302S mount are those black plates and the diagonal bar.The fender vents will allow air to escape from the engine...
  10. Changing front A arm bushings to Whiteline

    I had already changed the rear front A arm bushings to Whiteline and forgot to take any pictures but there are other threads on those so you'll see them in my pictures but no description of the swap. Except to say it is messy but once done does make a really nice noticeable difference to the...
  11. More 2014.5 rumors: 2 guys claim to have seen it

    I hope not, too old fashion looking. >:(
  12. Star Wars question

    End of episode three Senator Bail Prestor Organa orders C3P0's memory erased and give orders for them to be made property of the captain of the Senator's ship.Organa took Liea to his wife, Amadala didn't survive child birth.Jedi Qui-Gon-Jin is suposed to have learned how to take a visible...
  13. Boss transmission replacement? Direct bolt in upgrade?

    No offense but it sounds to me like you don't have much experience with high torque and HP cars. My buddies 07 has 650rwhp and you have to drive it like you're on ice all the time. One rash move and tires go up in smoke and he's running R compound 295 Nittos. He's running the close ratio T56...
  14. Boss transmission replacement? Direct bolt in upgrade?

    If you're going to SC you'll have so much more torque than the boss a rear gear isn't necessary. Maybe if you're strictly drag racing but not for any normal driving. You can't get enough rear tire to get traction so the higher gear doesn't hurt. Also you'll end up lowering your max rpm once your...
  15. Boss transmission replacement? Direct bolt in upgrade?

    I put the 6060 with the 2010 ratios in my SC car I like them a lot. The close ratios of the Boss can't quite be duplicated with an overdrive 5th.Numbers based on 3.55 rear end and 26” tall tire: [email protected] MPH/Gear RPM @80mphTR-3650 OEM gear ratio 1st 3.38 42mph 2nd 2.0 71mph...
