What is done to this car? Does this car have an exhaust? From that video it sounded very loud. 11.763 is an awesome time, good work to mick egan and crew for getting the boss so fast. Now I just want one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This effort should encourage other boss owners to try to push the boundaries of their cars. Look forward to seeing an unopened BOSS sedan in the 11's... hmm who will be next??? watch out LS1s muhahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David←The best it ran full weight (1820kg)and with exhaust was 12.23, but that was before the latest tune. We did not take much weight out of it possibly 100-120 kg so maybe an 11 may have been possible.Have not had any oil pump issues at this stage, but they are in the back of my mind which is why the car has not been raced again. According to the unofficial rules, replacing oil pump gears makes the motor opened, although they themselves do not make a performance gain, it gives you the ability to rev the motor harder which gives it more performance, but also how do you police if camshaft timing is altered at the same time.Chris did a great job of getting the power out of it, but He had the easy part just using his keyboard, while I had to do all the physical work with all the mechanical things . Just joking Chris had definitly done his part well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
