  2. Cooltech Tow Hook Users!

    LS110, the next time you are in we can grab the hook out of my BMW and see if it threads in to your plate. That would be the easiest to see if it works
  3. Grand Am Brakes for the Boss

    John emailed me to see what was done with the brake hoses. I did have to "massage" the fitting to fit the race calipers. In the end they lined up perfectly
  4. 2013 Boss 302 Cobra Jet install

    The primary benefit to deleting the VCT is to set mechanical timing to a specific spot for max hp gain in the range you are looking for. The VCT will move from 1 position to another position, but the ideal timing for certain modifications might be between those set points. Putting an adjustable...
  5. 2013 Boss 302 Cobra Jet install

    Very impressive. I noticed you still have vct solenoids. Did you consider a vct delete while you were in there?
  6. Two Pulls

    interesting. never heard of that happening on an f-series
  7. Two Pulls

    Your concern with the f150 is different. Ford is having issues with the battery shifting in the key causing it to not have power intermittantly. There is an updated gasket set to install into the keys that fixes the conern. His issue with the mustang is after it is unlocked. When pulling the...
  8. Fluidyne Boss 302R-Hx radiator

    That is the radiator that John (LS110) has. It fit nicely and I was able to make a lower radiator hose out of a upper hose from a ford taurus 24v engine. I just hooked up the oil cooler portion of it and had fitment issues with the fitting just below the cooling fan. I had to rotate the oil...
  9. Two Pulls

    Ran into it a few times. This is the service message from Ford. Should be under warranty. If not proceedure is simple to do and I can email you the insert from the workshop manuel44237 2010-2013 Mustang - Built On Or Before 10/31/2012 - Outside Door Handle Needs To Be Pulled More Than One...
  10. Tire Pressure Sensor Question (TPMS)

    They are the same as a standard mustang. Just make sure to get a valve stem mounted sensor and not a banded sensor. They operate on a different frequency. Don't know which year they switch but I think it is around the body style change.
  11. Trackey Problem

    Easy answer is no. If it is not displaying track key when ignition is turned on, the track key has not been enabled. It is entirely possible that they installed the tune but didnot enable the track key. Even with the program in the pcm, it will not do anythin if the track key has not been...
  12. New guy, Non-BOSS owner

    I agree that the mustangs are great to drive, but remember.....I am a Ford mechanic doing warranty work the majority of the time. Once the kids are out of daycare and the house is mostly paid off I will look into it ;)

    I hope you guys have fun at road America. I'll actually be there the following month for a vintage race as a spectator of course. I have to admit I'm a little nervous about John going. Every time he goes racing out of state the BOSS comes back on a hook.Road America is a beautiful track. I...

    Mine is a tii swap as well. It is a '73 tii with the mechanical fuel injection ditched for duel weber dcoe40's. The motor was rebuilt by KORMAN. I believe it is their stage 3 package with a 292 cam in it. Lopes quite a bit at idle which scares me because of the clearance between the radiator and...

    Pete, John is pretty excited to rent a miata and throw it around the track. Sounds like it is a very short track. He mentioned there were only 2 down shift corners and 2-3 upshift straights. sounds like you can just go flat out all the time. Hopefully he will bring his gopro so I get to watch later
