Tymeslayer and TMS will be on here soon, complimenting you on the best color Boss ever made, but please don't let it go to your head, they tend to be extremely biased. Speaking of biases , glad to see you did the MGW short throw shift kit , that is an absolute must in my mind for the MT-82.

Get in some track time and maybe you can make it to the Mustang Roundup in October --- we get plenty of Ford Engineers to drive down from Dearborn , so you can make the drive too! www.racemph.com

Nice build and glad to see you are ready to rock and roll. You might check nasaproracing.com and then pull up the Great Lakes Region of NASA, as it is one of the best NASA groups in the US and they have an outstanding HPDE program with instruction.

No bias involved. We just know what looks good. LOL
Your mods list looks much like mine. I wish had done the clear bra with my Boss. Track rash is not a great look, even for a Kona Blue Boss.

I like your mod list.

Perhaps I missed it but I didn’t see mention of the driveshaft. If you’re still running the OEM 2 piece setup, I think you would like the Ford Performance I piece unit. It’s a most noticeable improvement on a hard launch provided you have eliminated the inherent Boss OEM axle/rear wheel hop condition.

Great looking Boss 302.
