I was fully prepared to do all the same things to my Boss that I had to do to the GT500, including a full Griggs GR40SS with Watts link and coilovers. I did myself the favor of putting it on the track first. I was faster out of the box (stock) in my Boss than my GT500 on the road course with all those suspension upgrades, and my GT500 puts down 640rwhp/625rwtq. I'm just suggesting to take it slow. You'll be amazed at what Ford did with this car out of the factory. The only changes I've made to the suspension are MM caster/camber plates. At this point I'm not touching the rest of it. I'm able to run with the fastest cars on the track just the way Ford delivered it (with track wheels, tires, pads and rotors of course )
Yes the stock setup is too restrictive for optimizing camber for the track. Caster is fine, and I didn't adjust it even with the plates. Full factory caster works just fine. You'll be at approximately -.95 degrees of camber from the factory and that is likely from the 11mm drop in the front on the Boss over the standard GT. I have run mine on the track at -1.7, -2.2 and now -2.7, and settled there. My front tire temps are pretty even there. With the MM plates results have varied anywhere from a maximum of -2.4 to -3.3 and seems very car dependent. I can actually get to -3.1 on the driver's side but only -2.7 on the passenger side so that's where they're both set.lbp said:Hey, I noticed you mentioned caster plates.
- Is the stock setup too restrictive for optimizing caster/camber per track requirements?
- What are your specs up front? Oh yea, sra, front only... ;D
By the way, anyone concerned about excessive drive train slop & put in an aluminum drive shaft??
