But not today. In this installment, we chase down and play with a late Boss 302.

That guy must be pissed that he can't shake a Fair-mount, let alone lap it!

Any brake or motor upgrades recently?

Keep posting 'em....

He seems to take it rather well. The thing that confuses him more than anything is the little tires. It's still on 225s.

Last year, upgraded to the Mustang GT's 11" brake setup. I used cryo-treated rotors, SVO calipers, an aluminum Lincoln master cylinder, and Performance Friction pads. It's got a little more stop now. It doesn't have race car brakes by any means, but they don't fade like they used to. It lets me use the throttle more on the short straights.

I just installed a Holley Terminator TBI system. I'm still working on the tune, and it was so rich at the track that I was probably flushing 40 horsepower down the tailpipe, but I have high hopes for it if I ever get it figured out.

Thanks for watching.
