I'm hoping to be joining the Boss 302 series and I have been working on a setup. The default setup is ok, but mine is better. The rear end of these monsters can get very loose and hard to manage- this setup keeps the tail from getting too out of hand, still lets the car run free through the corners, is well balanced, preserves the tires (these heavy beasts can eat tires if you run the chassis to stiff and crank up the roll bars) and deals with the many elevation changes at The Glen. With this setup (same fuel amount as in here- good for a 13 or even 14 lap race) I run in the [pretty good times] after only one day of running hotlaps.

Guy, as you'll have seen by now, you've been made up to licensed member, so you can sign up for the races/series. Also, we decided that, for brevity, we'd have just the one thread per car in the setups section, but as yours is the first, I've made yours the de facto Boss setup car thread. :good:

BOSS 302 Mustang - Virginia Mostly worked on the dampers and springs. The diff might be a little too stiff, but just decrease the power setting if you want to make it a little more gentle out of tight corners.
