What are you using for a MAF and are you doing a cold air box

Custom fabricated

Always surprises me how much bigger the 5.4 is compared to the Coyote

Part number for the rubber elephant trunk? Is it a GT500 or Cobra Jet part?
Looks awesome.

Made a new shifter cover plate , had to hack up the factory piece for the Boss R gearbox , was going to powder coat it but went for the carbon look instead

You need one of the sequential gearboxes like your Kiwi friends have.

Some photos of the Boss all ready for testing at Pacific raceways next saturday (weather permitting)

Final weight , 2 gallons of fuel

 

[ArizonaBOSS]

That is inspirational.

It could be lighter if we were just running sprint races , the large fuel cell , double dry-break , trans cooler and windshield blower all add weight .
A proper racing transmission and small clutch and flywheel are about the only significant areas left for weight savings .
Does anyone know the weight on the ford racing oil pan , I was curious who much an aluminum pan would be in comparison to the steel one .

So how did the dyno go with the new engine?

Also--on the Optic Armor stuff--was it truly "Drop In" (with the exception of the rivets etc)? Or was there some preparation/trimming/fitting required?

Dyno went fine but we had problems at the 6 hour enduro and had to withdraw from the race while leading . Motor is apart right now and we put the stock one back in for the Portland event last weekend . We won the 1 hour race and finished second in the sprint race
The optic Armor is a true drop-in and does not require any trimming. I did end up putting a centre support as the windshield was vibrating over 150 mph

Thanks for the info on the OA. Sucks about the engine; I hope it's nothing serious.
