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

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Drew how much did that bucket of sealer weigh? Too much work for not much gain to me. Of course if I stop eating for a week I could save 25 lbs.
Steve

Roughly 12lbs. Like roadhouse said, it's mainly so the inside is very pretty once the cage goes in

Looks great, very clean!
did you have to buy an adjustable panhard bar as well?

I had one from my previous GT, but yes always recommended.

Rear gap is greatly reduced.

Got my car back today with a Kognition Design / Built 2 Apex wing kit on it.

Kognition Design makes the element and Built 2 Apex makes the mounts.

Grant: that is a good thought, my Boss is an October 2011 build as well. Mine is Boss production number 2800. What is your build sequence number? I'll have to look at my records, but pretty sure it was the 3rd week of October 2011.

I had been meaning to ask on SVTP whether that was braced under the trunk? I have seen a few cars with similar wings and the trunk ends up deforming from the down force.

Did you pop it?

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

No, but I am fairly certain the motor has been hurt for some time. The compression and leak down test is tomorrow and I'll let you know what they say. It uses oil every track day by the quart. It's mainy when I'm coming off the gas under engine breaking, blue smoke on the left bank. It's an early car (#204) and there were ring problems on these early cars. With the aluminum drive shaft and Kooks long tubes getting Ford to do anything under warranty is tough.

Talking to the guys at AED who really really know their stuff, I can sell the short block and get an Aluminator short block with 9.5 or 11.0 to 1 compresion for a decsent price. I can keep the top of my Boss motor which is where all the expense is on those motors. It's really a dedicated track car so I'm gonna have some fun with it.

Welcome to my world...good luck with the rebuild. Will very likely be doing 11:1 aluminator short block here too, come December.

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Yeah, I have a friend with a 2011 GT350 with the Roadrunner engine. He said you can run 7lbs of boost on the 11:1 and 20lbs on the 9.5:1. Unsure if I will go with a supercharger or not. Aluminator is a nice engine, impressive.

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

So cylinder 1=158, 2=162, 3=155, 4=160, 5=170, 6=162, 7=162, 8=170.

My understanding is that 170 is the pass pr good number. Any thoughts, opinions or knowledge out there??

Kooks Gen II Boss side pipes. Kooks products have super nice welds and high quality stainless.
