The factory puts a hose between the valve cover and the air intake tract that allows pressure to vent from the crankcase, but unfortunately, that air can bring oil into the intake. The oil separator separates the oil out so you can vent the crankcase without oil going into your intake.

19x9 for the front and 19x10 for the rear. Ford Racing makes wheels that are identical in looks to the wheels on the GT500 PP but were developed along with the Boss project. You'll see these wheels in the Speed Boss 302 documentary.

Edit: forgot you didn't have 19x9 all around stock like me

Yesterday was a busy day for 1009. I added the transmission cooler, Roush side splitters, and went to a show with Dean. That black LS is stunning when you see it in person. Thanks Dean, it was nice to meet you and your family. These two cars sure can get some attention.

I went to a local autocross last night to finish off a set of track tires so I could put new ones on for BIR in a couple weeks. I haven't autoxed in a couple years but the Boss did win its class

Excellent. Which class did you run? I was planning on going to a Solo 2 event later this morning just to watch but my pit crew has been barfing all over the place this morning so I'm not sure if I'll make it.

Since I rarely autox, I'm not sure how each body does its classing. These guys seem to follow SCCA (based on all the stickers lol). The classes were: RUS, A, B, C, D, E, F, H and Expo (non-classed). They put me in B.

My local SCCA group shows the Boss in both AS and BS so that's why I'm asking. I'll get more clarity on that later this morning.

I've wondered how long it would be before a new Boss 302 owner made the switch to these wheels. They absolutely work on that car and with that color. I've suggested to Mark that FRPP consider an 11" (which usually implies shock boot and possibly bumpstop bracket trimming) wide version for the rear. While the balance may be darn near perfect on the less torquey Coyote with what you have, it is inadequate with the blown 5.4 (especially since I added an FRPP Whipple kit). If you see this Mark, know that there are quite a few waiting for this to happen.

I'm not wild about the center caps having a silver background. I covered one in a vinyl CF look but that didn't look right either. I also don't want SVT on the caps so for now I'll run the Ford Racing caps.
