Just to clear up my post - I had the Stoptech 15"/6 pistons on my Boss, not the GT350 Brembos. I was curious about installing the 350 brakes on the Boss because the brakes on my 2020 GT350R are SO GOOD but I had concerns about pedal feel, too, so I went with the Stoptechs when they were on sale.
This thread has a lot of great information. FYI Full Tilt Boogie offers GT350 brake packages for the S197 cars and StopTech has a 15" rotor and 6 piston brake package that occasionally seems to be on sale for a little more than $2k. I had them on my Boss and they were lighter overall and the...
That is so cool. I am so glad you were the guinea pig and got everything figured out. The Roadrunner is such a special engine (especially the sound with Borla S Type axlebacks).
Wow so that actually doesn't sound like too terrible of a job. Thank you for posting.I have owned 2 B302s and now own a GT350R and the 3160 is such a pleasure compared to the MT82. I hadn't done gearing comparisons but that is nice to know. And yes, a tuned Roadrunner is a very special...
Wow yes I have been dreaming about getting another Boss and putting a 3160 in it! I love that transmission. Please give us the story of that installation, what clutch, etc!
285/35/20 Pilot Super Sports cleared in back. Tried 305/30/20 then 295/30/20 PSS and they were both really wide (much wider than other brands at the time). Both of them rubbed. I suspect that a 19x10.5 ET45 could work with 305/30/19 all the way around as long as the car isn't slammed.The...
Are you asking for an S197 or S550?I ran 20x10.5 ET45 squared with 3mm spacer to clear Brembos on my Boss 302. Went through a few different tire variations to not get rub at back on rear fender lip and about 2 degree neg camber up front with the car lowered about 1".
I enjoy the fact that there are multiple solutions for these cars. There is no such thing as a 1 size fits all it seems like.Jason - is your recommendation based on the HUGE tires you guys were running at the end of your S197 track development? I think 345mm rears and 325 or 335 fronts?
They could call that thing the Pinto Deathtrap 5000 and I would still dream about buying one! That GTD is freaking incredible and the fact that it's this halo car for Ford and Mustang is super cool..
yotah1 - what an amazing experience this must be for all of you guys who have worked on this car! What an incredible development of the Mustang platform. It's hard to believe that Ford had the guts to do something so radical to take on the European brands but I think it's one of the coolest...
I never could adjust the Bob's can to NOT clank. And my car was only on P springs at the time so not super low. Many of us had that issue back then but maybe it's been re-designed since. The JLT was easy to install and my car had zero issues with it.
