Lightened valvetrain components

Hey OP How much would your local guy charge to add the boss sides without the boss logo on it?

here is a pic or two..and one extra b/c I like it lol.

And I love the Grey...I kinda wish I waited out for a Grabber Blue or Grey but everyone wanted way too much for the mileage.

Looks good.

I recommend just removing the "boss" letters. I think that would take the faux out of it, and add some nice uniqueness at the same time.

I look forward to seeing your progress. Oh and, nice stance!

I believe he said the sides were $200 he does a quite a few of these with just the 302 in there and no Boss on the top. PM me and I can give you his number.

And yes I could satisfy the "die hards" and make them happy but it's my car and it makes me happy, that's all that really matters... I'm sure every person who installed a BOSS intake on there car gets the same question from the uninformed "is that a real Boss?" Ultimately I can't buy a new Boss cause they don't have any more or I would have bought a real one so I'll settle for making mine look like one. Hell I've seen a bunch here putting the GT500 ass end on there car and even the front clip as well as the hoods but heaven forbid someone puts the letters BOSS on there car lol...

Nobody ever asked if my car was a Shelby because I put quad mufflers on it, nor do people drive around with their hoods up so that you can see a Boss intake. I hate it equally when people leave the snake on the grille on a GT500 front conversion. Do whatever you want, but you're doing a poor job of justifying it. It's fake, the end.
