This was one of THE best Mustang upgrade videos I've ever seen, and I'm pretty sure I've seen them all. Outstanding content, tremendous vehicle, this was not only extremely interesting but was weaved together and narrated in a fun and informative way. Thanks for your expertise and for the time it took to put this together. Highly enjoyable, great work, and a truly awesome Mustang build.
Freedom Fighter, I can’t tell how much your comments mean to me. Your words hit straight to my heart, and I am incredibly grateful, not only for the time you took to watch the video, but the time you spent to leave the nicest and most flattering comments. I am humbled by your remarks, and it has made my entire year just reading this! Thank you, you have no idea how much I appreciate your words, and what an impact they have made on me. Thank you.
Ford gave up on racing the voodoo engine after one year. Vibration was very much the problem. Too many rebuilds and Ford could not sell such a bomb to private race shops. So they dropped it.
This is such a great video. Really appreciate you spelling out all the details of the build, and sharing what the driving experience feels like. I just bought a 2013 gt with a cobra jet manifold and full exhaust and I'm completely in love with it! I know it's not much compared to your boss 302, I bet that thing is a complete animal. Have you considered taking the car to Circuit of The Americas? It's such a good track.
Congratulations on your 2013 GT! Our S197 platforms are very capable, and I know we share the same enthusiasm over the Cobra Jet Intake Manifold. It really makes a big difference on N/A Coyotes. COTA is on my bucket list! It looks like such a fun track and great overall experience. Please keep me updated with the details and progress of your car. Congratulations again!!! Thank you for the kind words and taking the time to check out the video.
i know this video is 2 years old, but i have a 2012 boss 302, and is there any way you can help guide me on finding and buying the cobra jet cams that was made for the boss 302? where did you find and get yours from? i have had negative luck on this
Unfortunately, I have not seen any in stock anywhere for almost 2 years. I’m continuing to look, if I find them, I’ll drop you a message in this comment. Best of luck with your search!
I wish I had the funds to turn my 2012 Boss into a Boss S or R considering they didn't build many of them to actually buy one. I love the look of yours, it's a beautiful site.
I own a ‘19 GT350 and owned a C7 Z06 so I can say this.....at 8:30 a C6 corvette pulls away from you rapidly 😁. S197/550 mustangs are good cars and my GT350 is great, but a C5/6 corvette is the best track car for the money. And an LS is even more bullet proof than a coyote. And C6s are easy to turn into a dedicated track car.
You are 100% correct, and I completely agree! The C5 and C6 are the best overall track cars for the money. I don’t think this fact will ever change. Having owned both LS and Coyote vehicles/motors, I prefer the Coyote, but to each their own. In all fairness, my foot wasn’t in it at 8:30. I’m still learning that turn as a novice driver. Normally, I can pass stock C5/C6 Corvettes no problem (as seen in my other videos), but your C7 Z06 is an issue. Thanks for checking out the video! I appreciate your comment. BTW, I’m sure your C7 Z06 was blisteringly scary fast around the track!!! You’re probably the better driver, too, so I can only imagine what sitting shotgun with you around the track must be like!!!
@@TrackingPonies Well shame on me for commenting without knowing the full details. As I tell myself and my buddies I go to the track with, “your only as fast as your tires and comfort level allow.” You can’t go wrong with either engine though. Both proven blocks and thank God we have a choice! C7Z is very quick but it’s a handful on track. Plus I get heat soak timing retard and lose some ponies as the day progresses. The Boss 302S is a great car. I think it is really underrated as a track car. I just picked up the GT350 so I’ll see how it stacks up against the Z at the next track day. Great video BTW the build and drive are both very well done!
Let me review our data logs to give you a more accurate representation of how much faster around the track our lap times have progressed after all of the modifications. Depending on how mild or wild you want the build to be, I would estimate anywhere between $30k - $50k, not including expendables such as tires, brake pads, fluids, maintenance, etc… Thank you for checking out the video!
Hey, Jory. We have the entire car wrapped, and we do our best to clean it immediately after a track day. There are some noticeable marks in the clear wrap up close, thanks to WSIR. Thank you for commenting and checking out the video!
It’s approximately 3400 lbs right now. In a few weeks, I estimate we’ll be dead even with the Boss 302S at approximately 3350 lbs after more weight reduction. I’d love to get below 3250, but the roll cage added back significant weight. Thank you so much for the kind words and for checking out the video!
I track my Boss quite a bit, but it's still my daily driver, and honestly, I could never see myself tearing it apart to this level. The car is just too much fun to have on the street to turn into a dedicated track car. For that I'm planning on an FFR Daytona Coupe R
Hi Shelby! I completely respect and understand the decision to keep your Boss 302 both street-legal and track-ready. You can enjoy the best of both worlds, while maintaining the OEM factory look, drivability, and long-term collectibility. Thank you so much for taking the time to check out the video and commenting! I’ll be checking out your Boss 302 shortly. 👍
I have published my build with you guys before, im a complete NA full wieght car, 2012 Mustang GT. I'm fully built, by Bret Barber and I'm 530 to 540 rear wheel. I'm currently the fastest Coyote NA mustang in AZ. I often beat cars fitted with turbocharger or supercharger power adders. Again , I'm all motor no nitrous or any other power adder of any kind. I built an AMP stage 3 MT82 trans and so far can run up to 9000 with no issues. I got the car for 17,000.oo and have to date put 43,000.oo into it. When the oil business starts back up I will be getting rid of the steeda suspension components and moving to cortex as well, in the rear. Wanting to go to the long torsion bar and wattslink from Cortex. In the front wanting to go to Maximum Motorsports complete front end with coilovers in the front. Then ofcoarse brakes upgrades. Planning on using the GT500 package as well. I wont be tracking as hard as you guys and my kids still enjoy the back seat, lol just went with race louvers for hood venting and installed them as well. Looking at ordering fender vents fron Professional Awsome Racing. Any thoughts??
Oh, yes...I remember your build! It's the engine build I started drooling over when you described it to me in the comments section of the "5 Reasons Why We Are DESTROYING Our Ford Mustang BOSS 302" video. I am posting the link below, so if anyone else is reading this comment thread, they can click the link, scroll below the video, and read your comment where you list the parts, details, and describe just how big of an N/A beast your 2012 Mustang GT is and how it hurts many, many feelings. th-cam.com/video/UgFVnFmoiwY/w-d-xo.html If it's not obvious, I am very impressed. The fact that you have your back seat, can drive it on the street, and take your kids for ice cream is the best. I have no doubt your the fastest N/A Coyote in AZ, and probably one of the fastest N/A Coyotes in other states as well.
@@TrackingPonies thank you for the kind words. Has anyone else, to your knowledge used a mixture of Maximum Motorsports & Cortex as far as suspension goes.?.? Do you see any issues I could run into by doing that
Let me think critically about your question. I don’t think you would have an issue given you can achieve correct suspension geometry and dampening with said parts (MM in the front, CorteX in the rear). I’m sure CorteX would tell you to use all CorteX, and MM would say use all MM and don’t mix parts from different aftermarket manufacturers. Since I’m an expert in not knowing anything at all whatsoever, I’ll ask Eric @ Galpin Auto Sports who built our BOSS 302, and I’ll check with the buddies at CorteX. Stand by...
I haven’t forgotten to ask about your suspension questions. I’m meeting our friend who built the car tomorrow, and I’ll get his opinion. He’ll most likely call CorteX to confirm.
Likewise, I've never heard anything other than positive remarks and reviews on Calimer-built transmissions. I literally just spoke with Alan last week to get his opinion on a built MT-82 or T-56. Please keep me updated on your build! Thank you for checking out the video.
Honestly, I'm surprised you haven't blown the MT82 more times. From what I've seen, the original stock street engine was planned to be somewhere between 7800 and 8000 RPM red line, but due to the transmission not being able to handle it, they had to stick to the 7500 Red Line that it has stock.
What if I told you we are on our third MT-82? 1st MT-82: Stock, replaced under warranty. 2nd MT-82: RST, Lines, Barton, Blowfish 3rd MT-82: MagForce, Lines, TOB, MGW So far, the 3rd and current MT-82 is performing surprisingly well. You made excellent points on all counts. Thank you for commenting and sharing your knowledge on the MT-82 and engine speed / redline limitations!
@@TrackingPonies I saw from the video that you were on your third. I just also noticed you had the 8000 redline and higher torque, both of which causes the MT82 to grenade itself so if you were sticking with the MT82 I would have thought it would be more like 6th or 7th. I have a 2012 orange like yours... minus the fact it's still mostly stock (Ducts installed, For Racing GT500 axel backs and stainless brake lines are only mods) MT82 has perfect ratios... just wish it wasn't such a lemon
Agreed, I’m surprised this MT-82 is surviving 8000 RPM shifts. It has been problem-free, and felt great yesterday on track. However, I have a feeling we are on borrowed time. I also agree the ratios are great, especially for road racing. Congratulations to both of us for having fine taste in vehicles for owning Comp Orange Bosses!
Hey, Danny! I hope you are well. It's funny you ask this, as we were going to weigh the car again after this last round of weight reduction (including a lighter clutch and flywheel). The last time we weighed the car, it was approximately 3432 pounds with no driver or fuel in the tank (I think, I have to find the printout to verify this info). The BOSS 302S turnkey track car is approximately 3350 pounds with no driver or fuel in the tank. 3350 pounds is the target weight for our BOSS 302 track car, and a few new ideas and mods will help us go even lighter (hopefully).
I agree with you - the Boss 302 is one of the best cars I’ve driven on track. That’s saying a lot considering it has a live rear axle! $30-40K. If you are knowledgeable and crafty, you can save a lot of money installing engine and suspension bolt-ons in your own garage. The majority of the budget here goes to seam welding, weight reduction, and general welding for the roll cage. If you are like me lacking dexterity and problem-solving skills and need a professional to install everything, then the project budgets closer to $40-50K. Thank you again for checking out the video. I really appreciate you commenting and talking with me!
@@TrackingPonies Thanks for sharing that. So many open trackers start out by pouring money into power upgrades....I learned that that hard way...lol. Weight reduction, aero, sticky tires and seat time is where I've made by biggest gains. Moving into a Boss 302S was huge! Make me look so good as a intermediate driver.
IMO, you couldn’t be more correct or accurate with your statement. In fact, if I had to do it all over again, engine upgrades for more power would be the last variable on the list. As you stated, seat time is everything. Suspension, brakes, wheel/tire, and weight reduction make an enormous impact on the driving dynamics and handling characteristics of a vehicle, resulting in a greater net decrease in lap times compared to the net decrease in lap times of extra high rpm horsepower. I definitely agree with you.
@@TrackingPonies Not sure where you are based. I usually run with the SVT Cobra Mustang Club....and do 4 -5 track events every year. Next weekend we are running VIR full course. Would love to see you there! www.svtcobraclub.com
Well stated. I never understood that either, considering how popular the Road Runner engine is for racing of any kind. I imagine they wanted to reserve the Tremec for the GT500 to set it apart from the Boss 302, but the Boss 302 suffered as a result. Thank you so much for commenting and checking out the video!
That’s awesome man love the boss and roadrunner motors. I am thinking about building another gen 1 motor and forging The internals. I really want a gen2 or predator block but think the gen 1 for the price can work for what I have planned.
Look at you and I...with our cammed Coyotes, tearing up Vegas and So Cal with naturally aspirated fury!!! I can't wait to see your next run with the E85R Lund Tune. Congrats on the new Strange front drag brakes as well. Are you building a "back-up plan" engine, or an engine for a new project? The Gen 1 motor can take a lot of punishment, especially forging the internals. The Predator block is expensive. I bet you could do alot of mods to the Gen 1 motor for the price of a Predator block.

Boss 302 package is one of my favorite mustangs ever !
It’s a great, well-balanced OEM factory package for the S197 platform. It’s potential is still underrated! Thanks for always supporting the channel.
Love how you show all
The weight reduction stuff this is great video.
Thank you! I have to give credit and thanks to Eric @ GAS, who not only built the car, but setup the cameras to film himself grinding and welding.

I had a Boss for 5 years. Tracked it all over the world and had a lot of fun.
I am not a fan of the seating position though. It’s not ideal
Sweet Boss..! I was sort of bummed when my 82 yo father sold his white/ black 2013 Boss 302. The track key for me and the other pops..

What is the new weight for the car ? I really enjoyed watching the build.
It’s approximately 3400 lbs right now. In a few weeks, I estimate we’ll be dead even with the Boss 302S at approximately 3350 lbs after more weight reduction. I’d love to get below 3250, but the roll cage added back significant weight.
Thank you so much for the kind words and for checking out the video!
@@TrackingPonies is it 3400 full gassed up with you in it?
This car does not have a coyote. It has a Road Runner engine.
...which is a Coyote (Coyote variant). Thanks for checking out the video!
Nice Mustang. I like that you have answered questions here and on the Galpin channel
Thank you for the kind words and taking the time to check out the video!
Love seeing Orange Car getting some time on the channel. Also, glad to see this in my feed. Missed the content.
Hey, Marlon! I hope you are well. Thank you so much for all of your support! Orange Car’s break is over, back to the track it goes.
You have to talk Erick (M3) into getting a mustang now lol
Where does it stop? Then, we have to convince you to get one. I like the monster turbo GTI you have now better anyway, so don't listen to us.
I love the size of the m3 I don’t know if I’ll get a mustang maybe a new gt350r
Erik, I can foresee whichever car you choose to drive, I’ll still be at the back of the pack. Yes, the side shot angle / view of the M3 is timeless.
Tracking Ponies size not side but yeah it’s not a bad looking car for being almost 20 years old
Oh, that makes more sense. It definitely has a lightweight advantage over other vehicles. It doesn’t look 20 years old!
Just get the Tremec. You already have a ton of money in the car. Just throw a good tranny in it instead of investing money in the junk MT82. 🤷🏻♂️
I track my Boss quite a bit, but it's still my daily driver, and honestly, I could never see myself tearing it apart to this level. The car is just too much fun to have on the street to turn into a dedicated track car. For that I'm planning on an FFR Daytona Coupe R

You’re half way there! Weight reducing the S197 really made it more nimble on track. I hope to review your car one day!
