Thanks for the update. It is good to know our options. It would be great if you could repost occasionally on how the trans is holding up. I assume you have the stage 3 rebuild kit because you mention the GT500 style input shaft. Is this correct?
How much power are you putting through this trans?
I'm not sure, I got mine 3 or 4 years ago when the Boss was still sort of new and on manufacturer's radar. Even back then they were not always in stock. I got mine from a major vendor and it took them six weeks longer to get that to me than everything else in my order. If you know anybody...
I wouldn't worry about the side restrictors drowning out anything. I sent the kid under the car to remove them the day I brought it home from the dealership. They really do not make much sound unless you are accelerating. While my car is a little loud I am usually drowned out by everyone else...
I don't remember everything. Off the top of my head...
The instructions online are pretty good but there are a few issues.
-Upper radiator hose - Boss or GT, that thing is a hot mess. You must piece it together and it is easy to spring a leak. You will have to cut a hose off of a plastic...
Ok I'll bite.
I was in what they called the Seabee Vet program, a sorry little program which took Fleet Navy and other service vets and converted them into Seabee ratings. The final part of the program was to pass the advancement exam for the rate you were changing to. In my case I was an AO3...
Congratulations, nice looking Boss. The Vortech Blower works well with the car (I have the Paxton 2200, same thing). You may want to upgrade the clutch and other drivetrain parts first. I never experienced lockout issues with my trans until I put the blower on. Any weak links will show up then.
I am interested in what happened when you talked to Shaftmasters. Rating a product at a certain power level and standing behind it are two different things. I would like to hear your experience with their customer service.
Why is my Boss special to me? I don’t know where to start. I have been into performance since high school. Every car that I have owned has been a compromise of one thing or another. My 92 Camaro was saddled with a TBI motor and the weak T5 trans. This meant that tipping the nitrous in had...
Not sure if I'm "new", but I usually just look for tech advice since most of what I need to know has already been asked at some point in time. It's been slow at work this week though so here I am exploring other parts of the site.
I've been around performance cars on and off since the early...
