Good lookin ride, sir! And superb color choice!

 

Actually, I have the old MGW shifter. I didn't realize they discontinued that model when the race spec version came out. The new MGW race spec should be awesome.

 

Enjoy your new Boss! I love mine.

 

Congratulations! The Boss is blast to drive and I drive mine daily in and out of traffic.

 

Sweet Boss. Congrats!

 

Quick question for you guys: looking into a getting a set of 18x10 wheels. Forged one piece for a smoking deal. Offset is 42 for both front and rear and was wondering what would be the best tire size to run?

Ive owned my boss for 2 years now. Lot of crap with the trans.

I had the 3rd abd 4th gear synchros replaced along with the shift forks.

I have a steeda shifter, blowfish bracket, steel braided clutch line, exedy mach 500 clutch and flywheel.

For power im on a aed flex fuel tune. With intake, off road quad h pipe, roush axle back.

Suspension consists of frpp boss springs, rear lower control arms, (needed relocation brackets after the springs, lower control arms were way off causing traction issues) adjustable panhard bar, roush rear upper control arm, 275/35 fronts 285/35 rears

Only cosmetic is gt500 deck spoiler

Love it. Drives amazing. Sooo freaking loud. It breaks necks

 

The offset should be different for the front and the rear. I forget what a +42 offset does to the wheel as my front tires on the LS are 19x9 with a +42 offset while my rear wheels are 19x10 +47 offset. You also have to be careful with the wheel design because it might not clear the Brembos.

For 10" wheels I think the widest I would go for optimum performance is 305. You can fit bigger but I think that is the largest I would go.

 

Had some time to finally work on the car this past week and got some small things done. Went with a cat delete from Jegs and a custom tune by a guy named Carl from Dynojet. Put down about 405whp and 377wtq. Also scooped up a pair of OEM GT500 wheels from a local guy for an amazing price! Made a little video with my cam idle as well as showing off the new wheels. Lemme know what you guys think!

 

Sounds good!

 

dang....I wish I had a Race Red Boss

 

I wish I had a boss in any color.

 

So I decided that I wanted to stay NA with the car instead of forced induction. Ive been reading a lot on how people just really love our cars with having just straight motor and bolt ons so I began slowly building it. Ordered the Cobra Jet setup with the intake manifold, monoblade TB, and the CAI. Will be installing hopefully next week when the parts come in so that I can get it properly tuned as well. More than likely will be going with the MGW shifter as well as with some LCA (thoughts on brands?) so make limit wheel hop. Suspension and LTH will have to wait another month or so so that I don't go crazy with blowing money on the thing all in one go!

 

I think you're going to have to get a tune with the CJ Setup. You definitely will with LTH.

I went with almost all BMR on my suspension mods. LCAs (adjustable), UCA (Adjustable), Watts Link, K-Member, tubular A-Arms and others. The car ride mighty stiff. MM CC Plates and FPRR T lowering springs with Koni Yellows polish up the package. My goal was to keep the car grounded on the road course.

To Keep TracKey I went with Kook Shorties, Airaid PJ CF CAI, Kooks Boss sidepipes, Bolra OA and ATAKs, MRT H pipes and QTP Cutouts. None required a tune.

I highly recommend the BMR components as they work as advertised and fit my 3-4 HPDE track days a summer habit well. You could spend more on other brands but I wouldn't bother unless you start really racing.

 

If you are going to drag race or track I suggest replacing the clutch with a Spec or McLeod.
These along with an MGW will eliminate lockout at the rev limit.
Worked for me.

 

That car looks beautiful!! congrats!
