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

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Installed the GT500 13.8" rear brakes. I used the Baer bracket 670-0183, (which is really an adapter bracket to push out the caliper about an inch) so I did not have to remove the caipers, or axles to do the install. No bleeding of the brakes or diff oil needed. The bracket cost was $85 each plus shipping from Baer in Arizona. Oh, you will need to get 4 bolts, M12 X 55mm long (I used 60mm, as that was all I could find).

Here is a picture with the Baer bracket installed. (of course it is the black one)

Before picture of the 11.8" rear brakes.

After picture of the 13.8" GT500 brakes.

After picture with Boss 19" wheel.

After picture with my GT500 20" wheel.

These brackets are the ones that come in the 14" Baer rear brake kit 226-2019. The GT500 Rotors are slightly smaller at 13.8", and therefore the brake pads are located right at the outer edge of the rotor. I hope this is not going to be an issue.

Here is a picture of the pad to rotor. (Pad extends about a 1/16th past the rotor)

I am going to try and get the 15" GT500 front brakes installed in the next couple weeks. They will involve bleeding the brakes.

Tony that's great info. Member YoPauly has the Baer rear kit and I always wondered if that bracket would work with a stock offset rotor. Did you ask Baer if they sell the bolts? It's hard to tell from your photo but does the pad extend beyond the end of the rotor? If so I don't think that's a big deal as the pads on my front Stoptech brake kit do that slightly.

Did not ask about the bolts when I ordered the brackets (they show bolts and washers in their kit and I prefer the bolt with washers built in, the same as what is on our cars). Their info stated that the kit has 55mm long bolts, so I just sourced them locally, and got 60mm bolts with a washer build into to the bolt. If you look at the first picture, you will see the 60mm bolt in a gold color and it only comes out about 1 thread.

In the last picture, the arrow is pointing to the pad extending beyond the stock GT500 rotor.

I looked at my 2013 LS (currently doesn't have a good as my TR hood is off getting painted) as I walked out the garage to drive my dad's 2013 LS that I borrowed.

MGW Race spec, solid motor mount and JPC clutch line. Everything else is stock.
The MGW is awesome. Huge improvement compared to Gen1 which was a good improvement over stock.

Did you have Youtube correct for vibration on your video, I ask because that video was super wavy.

I don't think so. I didn't do anything to it.

I know it's shaky, I have to find a solution for that but so far nothing is good enough.
I have a ram mount mounted on the roll bar with a support for the Iphone6

Nice. I look forward to your feedback on this as I made too many changes to my Boss at one time to determine what the watts link added.

I bought it....actually not today, Saturday. Traded my 03 ZY Terminator and some cash for a 2013 Boss. It was a deal I couldn't pass up ;D

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Installed a Dynotech 1-piece aluminum DS. Combined with the lightweight battery I installed yesterday, I just shaved 40 lbs off the car.

Thanks for the nice welcome. Yes this the car from the TV show. I know the cars owner. I wasn't looking to buy it (I was having too much fun with my Terminator) but he was looking to sell to fund his next project...the rest is history.

TMSBOSS, I didn't get the original long block with the car. It hydrauliced a cylinder due to an injector issue so they just swapped the whole thing out.

That car made tons of power and torque. If I recall, there were two tunes, one at 700+ HP and the second at 900+ HP. Must be a blast to drive. Also, real early production number at 0006.
