Love it bud! Looks killer.

Awesome BOSS Gary!
I actually saw a GHIG BOSS in my town on the way to the gym today. I think he either lives nearby or visits friends. It's like the 5th time I had seen the car.

Good god!!

Lol Sean! Was that in reference to the sushi???

ford20

Hahaha I tried Sushi once and only once! The car looks amazing especially the last pic of the hood, hot ****!

FromZto5

Thanks a lot buddy! That was just taken with my iPhone! No joke, no edits. Imagine how it looked/looks in person. I was really impressed with that butter wax. It made my Kona look drippin'. Not bad for 5 year old paint!

Hey Sean, I finished reading your entire thread. I bow down to you for all the work you did. I can't come close to that. Wow. I'm impressed.

Is the car fixed now though after that unfortunate mishap on the dyno?

TripleBlack14

Nice pic Gary. I think that's the first time I've seen yours with the hood up. Did you score any hardware?

SplitSecond

Certainly not for his parking skills

Im not usually one to go for red after having my red Trans Am, but i guess im a sucker for redheaded Boss. Sweet car.

TripleBlack14

Gary is from Pennsylvania. People there are, ummm, a little different.

Thanks Burton! I would have had everything all done myself if it wasn't for the stupid piston! I'm almost positive that is why it stopped rotating on me when I was degreeing the cams.

As of right now, this is where I stand.


They just have to break in the engine and then it is off to the dyno!

FromZto5

^ now THAT sir, sounds completely NASTY.

God that's a beautiful thing. I'm so jealous. I'd give up my car/engine right now for that. You're even N/A. Imagine when you throw a blower on there.

LMMFAO

RoushRS3

Went to a car show Saturday. They chose a stock Roush for the win over mine but I still had a blast!

FromZto5

Beautiful man! I don't know why they chose another for the win, but yours is a beast! almost 680 to the wheels on E85. Brutal.

Stage_3

Beautiful car sir!! Very nice.
So, do you have updated internals running that much power? Or, are you on a safe tune considering you are running E85? Almost 700rwhp and almost 600rwtq is awesome stuff.

Gabe

Flushed out the brake fluid in my car, got rid of the 4-year-old crap and put in some fresh Motul RBF600.
Quite surprised how cloudy and somewhat dark the old stuff was.
Also, using an old turkey baster I sucked out whatever I could out of the clutch fluid reservoir and re-filled with the same new Motul RBF600 stuff.
I will do the suck/refill procedure a few more times until I can consider that flushed.

I'll put all the pics I took in my build thread, but here I will just show the difference between the old and new fluid, as it looked/looks in the clutch fluid reservoir:

^ awesome Gabe. I'm glad I did mine (well, I had my shop do it) when I did all my big fluid changes this spring. I noticed better pedal feel for sure.

Gabe

Yup, definitely better brake pedal feel.
Firmer.
Good stuff.
Me happy.

Mustang Freak

Thanks guys and that's how they had us park. No hardware she's too young but she got a lot of attention. I saw several dads explaining the Boss to their children.

RoushRS3

Haha thanks that's my baby.

Thanka Burton! Im loving the way this thing sounds right now. Its a beaat!!! Hopefully after tuning it will retain the rowdy sound it has. I'm excited to get this thing back!!
