I'm not sure if this is the best place to put this post, but as a newby I didn't want to start a new thread. I was just curious if anyone knew anything about or was considering putting the Hennessy Performance package on their Boss. The website doesn't have any specifics listed yet, but I saw an ad for it that indicated that they would be able to make it nearly 650 hp.
Also, has anyone given any thought to putting a supercharger on the Boss?

 

I'd never send a car to Hennessey, with his spotted history.

 

Installed Watts Link, custom Strano rear sway bar, rear springs, adj. perches. This weekend it's Strano FSB w/adj. end links, srtuts, springs, camber plates, studs f/r, align, and corner weigh. Waiting on rear shocks and wheels.

Anyone realize that the factory rear tire + wheel weigh 60lbs.? Heavy **** combo.

Dave

 

Wow. Which wheels did you order?

 

I have a test wheel arriving today/tomorrow, but to answer your question, CCW's. I'll also be picking up a second set here shortly, Enkei PF01.

Dave

 

Need Pics, will you be competing with the Boss?

 

Yes, test n tune next Friday in Oscoda Michigan, Toledo Tour the following Sat/Sun. Very tight timeline but will be ready for SCCA Solo2 National Championship in Lincoln, NE (skipping the Pro though).

Anyone pull the panhand bar yet. I didn't see this in any thread, but it has sand (or material) in the tube. Is this common? Maybe to help reduce noise/vibration?

Just ordered a Roush exhaust to sit in the garage for a bit...

 

Pulled one on a 08 V6 and it was the same, I guess it is like this on all of them.

 

Busy Friday/Sat. Installed Strano FSB/endlinks, coilovers, MM camberplates, corner scaled and aligned, new PFO1's arrived and mounted 315's (back-up wheels), CCW test wheel arrived, mounted, and measured. Order wheels Monday.

The longest part of the day was setting up the scales, corner weighing, and getting some custom parts made from a local machine shop for the coilovers/MM camber plates to work. However, we lost 74 lbs. in the process with more to come off.

Changed the oil

 

Air freshener ?

 

I prefer the leather one

 

Are you running 315's front and rear? What size PF01's with what offset? What tire are you using?

 

Hit refresh over and over again until my window sticker popped up lated Friday night or most would say Saturday morning! Since then I have just looked at for endless hours in anticipation of Friday's scheduled build date. Now the wait gets even harder.

I know I don't have my Boss yet but its what I did this week

 

315's f/r PF01 18x10.5 +38. Hoosier A6. Requires 5mm front spacer to clear Brembos. Rear sticks out roughly 15 mm. Wish they made a +50.

Sam has been running this combo all year.

Ordered my trans cooler scoop today, $110 shipped from Late Model Restoration

 

If this has not been stated before, the Strano FSB end-links (UMI) has upper allen head bolts that are a bit too long and has the potential to scrub the tire if you are pushing for space. You can do 1 of 2 things: mark, cut, and run the end threads or buy shorter bolts. Just an fyi-

Also, if anyone needs instructional help on replacing the front and rear sway bar, pm me. I took pictures to help document, but I just don't have the time to start a DIY build thread.

I got to see and touch my car today. Got to the dealer too late to complete the PDI, but I did figure out that the DRL's can be reprogrammed!! My Yankee now thinks it's a Canuck.

I'll take delivery and to the engine break in tomorrow.

 

TMI.

Congratulations and you'll have to share how to deprogram the DRL's with us.
