I see the tab at the bottom of the bolt in the top center of the pic.

We'll have to track different sizes in the hole. Anyone got a decibel meter? Oh I do.

What we really need to know is if and how much of a HP gain there might be from removing the disc.

If TracKey was available now I'd tell you next week. But since it isn't, I'm pulling the discs but waiting for TracKey before doing any dyno pulls.

When you do your dyno pulls you'll have to put the discs back in to see if the rumored increase is true.

Fair enough. Easy enough to do while waiting for cool down between pulls.......except the pipes might be a bit hot!

The disc is like a thin metal gasket between the thick spacer and the exhaust flange. The thick spacer is to allow for the future dump valve from FRPP. BTW I forget to tell you guys to remove the bolt from the rock first!! LOL

If you just took delivery of a new BOSS, would you:
A) Be posting on the internet about it
B) Be out driving it / drooling at it in your garage?

Personally, I vote C.

You're absolutely right. I would be out ripping through the gears, not online entertaining us poor souls without our very own BOSS.

I'd be leaving work early and cutting through some back roads. Beautiful weather here, sunny and breezy, 83 degrees, perfect.

Nice, you look happy. When you get out of car in a week you will have a lot of reading to catch up on

Exactly! No more forum for me for a while...though it's been good to me, feeding my need to get some idea of the real thing. I am ready for some heart pounding gears but for now my heart's just pounding in anticipation.

They had closed early. I'm going to call your reference and get an appointment.

I'd do it this week, but the car is scheduled to beat the **** out of some tires at Arizona Motorsports Park in the morning

Yeah, I need you guys to keep feeding me until my Q2 car gets here. This is the only thing keeping me going ha ha. 1 year wedding anniversary and trip to Jamaica for a week coming up in June...and I'm worried about a car. Gotta love it right? At least the wife is on board with the car thing
