Come on Jeff pretty bold statement for someone with little or NO experience with Boss motor's,put a 290 into a car with the weight of a crapadoor and see what it can do I did'nt have any trouble with any Hsv in the straights and around the twisty's on the last cruise and I've only spent $2100 on mods p1ssing off the Dunlop's is a big improvement for the handling alone and if the Boss motors where in the AU series they probably would'nt have the reputation that they do Chris from Bluepower is running 11.7 in his xr8 with only bolt on's And std GT's have run a 13.8 also not bad for nearly 2 Tonne of car and driver CYA JEFF <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Too Right and im sure it has been said before but obviously people arn't listening, the BOSS is a impressive V8 more so the 290 Version, with a few FPV's pulling around 300Rwkw with just Bolt on's and a tune, show me any LS1/2 that has done that? Anyone? And the Boss's Fuel economy isn't half as bad as they make out in magazines like MOTOR, especially after Mods. I will belive this 6.0L SS Pull's a 13.8 when someone over on LS1.com.au pull that time or better and posts the timeslip untill then who cares...
