Boss 302 Must do's

[TheRealSuperman]

What are the "must do's" out there for these cars?

I have the restrictor plates removed from the side pipes.

I got rid of skip shift.

Got rid of that annoying "Clutch assist spring"

Installed MGW shifter, CAI, catless exhaust, and Tune.

Panhart bar

removed that sound tube under the hood.

Installed the brake cooling ducts and transmission scoop.

and am now using Redline MTL synthetic oil.

What else can you guys think of? (Aside from the obvious lower the car and wheels/tires)

THANKS A LOT BTW!!!:coolman:

Catch can, and you should be set.....


Then of course full exhaust, ported mani, bigger injectors for E85, clutch, full suspension mods etc. then you should be set. :thumbsup:



Seriously I would throw a catch can to keep oil out of the intake other then that you covered all the necessary mods.

There is always more...... You just have to know when to say when.

What's your plan with the car, dragster, road coarse, or weekend car?

Second set of rims and C/C plates :-D

 

[F.D.Sako]

-18" wheels for better and more affordable tire selections.
-Upgraded brake pads and fluid for the track (you already have cooling ducts)
-ARP wheel studs (seen two people snap stock ones while torqueing to 100lb-ft)
-Better flowing grill, if you live in a warm climate area (95F ambient temps caused my engine to get up to 245F!)
-Upgraded clutch to avoid high RPM lockout or clutch failure at the track.
-Camber plates to last those front tires as long as possible

Running a square setup will help with rotation and longevity of tires. But will require at least a sway bar change to re-balance the car.

I should have mentioned the Pads are done and I got Cross Drilled slotted rotors :banana:

What kind of grille? Believe it or not, I hated the stock one when I first got it and it really grew on me.
I plan on going with an exxedy clutch.
Any recommendations on the brake fluid or sway bar? I was gonna get the Laguna Seca one, but I cant justify paying 400 bucks for 1 mm...........

Cross Drilled slotted rotors

Oh and blank rotors :read: because those drilled ones WILL crack on a road course.

 

[BADBOSS]

Take a 5/16 drill bit and drill out the honeycombs in the faux fog lights to open up the stock grill.

Good choice on the clutch, that was the fix for mine, after all the band aids didn't work..

They make inserts to accomplish this.

OP's got a 2012

 

[200MPHCOBRA]

Mach 700 stage 4. Too grabby on the street for my taste but speed shifting at 8000 rpm no problem....

I was replying to a post above talking about drilling these out.

Where can I get one of these?

You will have to find the pair of inserts used now, as the seller of these homemade inserts has now moved out of the country. I found them on a boss specific forum.

At the moment you can't get them. I haven't done any this summer, the demand is way down and I haven't had the time. I may have a set around the garage someplace. PM me and I'll see if I have any, no promises.
