So i have a few cars i would consider pretty quick 04 Cobra 750+rwhp 08 Shelby 700 + Rwhp, Went into the dealership to order a new 2013 Shelby the other Day fell in love with a boss. So after I ordered my Shelby figured i better grab a boss too. here is the problem...... Boss is an amazing car love it but its a little slow for me. But i want to keep it a very nice cruiser so no blowers and crazyness just yet... here is what i put together for an Order..... What do you guys think? Too Much?? Too Little?? Anything i forgot?? Any advise suggestions or changes??

JLT Power Pack- intake and tuner- jon lund tune
Kooks Longtube Headers

Magna flow 3" street cat back
Barton industries Shifter with braket
BMR upper and Lower control arms Poly bushings

Dynotech Driveshaft aluminum 900 hp
BMR drive Shaft loop

That would be a strong all motor car. Better include some tires :D

Since you have plenty of other fast cars do this:

See how fast you can make it down the 1/4 mile with those mods with a 17 or 18 or 19" drag radial.

I just sold my 07GT500 to also order a 2013GT500 and I'm getting very impatient. They are talking about deliveries in august now. I too am picking up a boss this week for a dd until there are 13 Shelby's on the lots. Looks like a nice build, gears seem kind of high for a car with such a high rpm motor,no?

id skip the gears, the boss has a closer ration trans and you would end up shifting all the time. as for tires, i use bridgestone potenza s-04 pole position on the road course and they are fantastic. every thing else sounds good. if you are a fan of drag racing, you should give road racing a try, the Boss 302 is an awesome track car.

I think you need to get me a job with you haha. Looks like a nice set of mods, I would go with AED tune over Lund on a 5.0 and either SW or dynatech LT's paired with their x-pipe.

You've listed a bunch of things that'll make it run hotter but nothing to help cool it off. FOR SURE get the kitty litter scoop, and likely a 302S grill, and possibly a radiator.

Go with Lund all the way... I have much personal experience. I was the very first Boss with a tune back in April 2011.


...And do a Kenne Bell blower!!! It will be unstoppable! I loved my car with the blower

Off hand why would you guys buy boss just to put a blower on it..doesn't that kinda take away what the car was made for?
