What did you do to your Boss 302 or S197 today?

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

I swapped the stock exhaust baffles for the 3/4" ones, and I never liked the stock driving light delete inserts so I had a buddy print a set on his 3D printer that had the honeycomb opened up. If you ask me, that's how they should have come from the factory.

Can he do more?!! I'd be very interested in a pair.

It takes 2 hours to print each insert, so we ordered some molding material, that should speed things up and eliminate some of the 3D printer drawbacks. There have been several people ask about getting some, so if the mold works out he should be able make make a bunch of them.

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Found potential problem causing vacuum leak. I have been chasing an air or exhaust leak since I have been trying to data log for a tune for my CJ intake. So far I have changed all the vacuum lines, replaced header gaskets, replaced O2 sensors and MAF sensor, and this morning pulled my intake to check the port gaskets. No way the port gaskets were leaking but upon examination I found a 3" long crack in the rear of the upper plenum, running from the seam between the halves in the middle to the reinforcing rib on the drivers side. I cleaned it out with electric contact cleaner and flooded it and the weld seam with medium viscosity super glue. I will let cure for an hour and then plan on coating with Super Black RTV. Hopefully this is what has caused my fuel trims to be 27% above baseline. Wish me luck.

Moral of this story is I don't know why it cracked, so be aware of any funny intake noises or idle stability issues. I thought my idle hunting was because of my tune and large CAI/85mm throttle body combo.

Boss or CJ intake?

Boss intake. Shaun at AED will not write my CJ tune until I show him good data logs on my current configuration.
Got clean bill of health from him today so will be swapping soon.

I put on a 302S grille that I had painted gloss black.

Got rid of the push lock hose junk on my oil cooler for real steel braided hose.

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

It wasn't today but this is the first chance I've had to get back on the interwebs. Over the weekend with the help of Arizonaboss and Capt Distraction we installed the Cortex Xtreme Grip Track suspension system, the Watson "bolt-on" roll bar, Barton shifter and two post bracket, smaller rear sway bar (still waiting on the right front bar but if you have an 06 spyder I can hook you up), Jegs cat deletes, Ford Racing front and rear wheel studs, and a custom AED tune. Had the alignment done yesterday the car feels and sounds amazing can't wait to hit the track this weekend.

Oh and the Whiteline trans bushing too, so much stuff I can't remember it all!

Replaced brake fluid, switching ATE to Castrol SRF. Also added the Whiteline tranny bushing. The bushing stiffined things up nicely, giving the feeling that you're more connected to the raod. There is an increase in vibration that comes through the seat but IMO it's nothing significant.

Installed Drive Shaft Shop Carbon Fiber shaft, wrapped mid pipes with DEI wrap to protect shaft and maybe lower diff temps. Installed new rotors and Carbotech pads. Have to do SRF fluid flush, bolt on slicks and load up the trailer this evening for the trip to VIR.

Redlinegoods.com is where I got it from. Have gotten stuff from them before. Decent price and they are pretty receptive to your feedback.
They have a discount code for the rest of the month, and are always offering some kind of discount. They mainly do shift boots and such but do other little things like this. Check them out.

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

drove 851 miles in a straight shot Seattle-SLC for Boss Track Attack today.

Love the UT 80MPH speed limit.

I was doing 85mph@~2800rpm for quite a while and was showing 23.0mpg. And the engine was purring and rar'ing to go.
