  1. Window Tint

    I have the crystalline installed on my boss and like it.I actually slightly prefer traditional tint such as the 3M Color Stable. It provides a nice gray black tint and Color Stable is available in the lower ranges (5%, 20%)You may actually prefer the lighter look of the Crystalline. It...
  2. Couple of Dumb Questions

    If I remember right the boss supplement recommends premium. Most of us use premium although Ford told me I could get away with regular. As for the gauge, some have been looking into LS gauges. I am considering the aeroforce setup.

  4. In Virginia during the Hurricane!!!!

    I live in Norfolk and decided that the car cover wasn't enough to keep my baby safe. Parked my car in a garage last night and really glad that I did, since I am looking out the window at cars with trees laying on them. That is the pre-storm too. The real punch should be entering the area...
  5. Raced a Shelby

    Bad news and bad news, which one first? Found myself lined up with a new Shelby in a no cop area on in VA (this is very rare). Off the line, the Boss was side by side and slightly pulled ahead in the first three gears, but after that the extra ponies of the supercharged Shelby demonstrated...
  6. MT82 Tech from Grassroots Motorsports

    I went to my local Ford dealership for an oil change, but was talked out of it by the team of technicians assembled around my car. They said, if I wanted to play it safe to bring it in around 4500. They said the oil would look brand new if they pulled it out now. I think I will take mine in...
  7. Radar/Laser Jammer

    Passport 9500ix has saved me more than a few times already. The confidence it provides me when I am in a potential high police zone is well worth the price, besides all of the tickets. I have never tried a jammer though.
  8. Ford Art house

    500? Take a picture of your own after you wax it and learn to use photoshop. Buy a frame from walmart for $15, and it will mean more to you.
  9. New Throttle Body

    Can't believe I missed that. For anyone wondering, the 2012 Boss 302 comes stock with a 80mm TB. A 90mm throttle body means more air, more air means more fuel, which should mean more power.
  10. New Throttle Body

    http://www.fordracingpartsdirect.com/2011_2012_5_0L_COYOTE_90MM_THROTTLE_BODY_p/m-9926-m5090.htm is the part OP referred to. Don't know if a tune would be necessary.

  12. New Yellow Blaze

    Awesome, that is exactly how I felt on the drive home. ;D
  13. Vortech supercharger?

    Very helpful info Cloud9, so would you recommend any mods for performance increase in street use or just keep stock and wait for the trackey?
  14. Oil brand and Viscosity

    From what I've read the 5w50 is for vehicles being driven really hard all the time therefore it may be too thick for street use, and comes with some potential problems:
  15. Vortech supercharger?

    Could you please explain a little more? I bought the boss because it was 15k less than a shelby and offered better track capabilities. People have been putting various superchargers on the GT for years with amazing results. The Boss is a more capable GT. Exactly what balance do you believe...
