If you shift when you see red, than the Boss IM isn't for you. Exactly why I got rid of mine. It makes me cringe when I hear the motor spin that high. That's just me though. Plus, with the MT82...it doesn't like to be shifted that high. Remote shifting transmissions are prone to gear lock outs at high RPMs.

Ya no intentions from me to get it at this time.

doesnt the Boss 302 come with the same MT82?

Yep

And the Boss has the same issues. Believe it or not, the GT500 has the same issues with the TR6060. A lot of it has to do with the remote shifting.

stiffer motor mounts.

Hmmmmmm don't have any problem with mine shifting at 8k rpms and before my build I was shifting at 7700 rpms.

Thats weird cause neither do I.

Can you give more information on this and how this applies to remote shifting vice a regular tranny?

Shifting over 7500 ftw!

Everyone is not going to have the problem foos, but gear lockout is very common with remote shift transmissions.

Essentially, a remote shift transmission such as the MT82 and TR6060, are operated by shifter linkage outside the tail housing. The shifting mechanisms inside the transmission differ from a direct shift like a T56.

Direct shift transmissions such as the T56 have a fully enclosed tail shaft providing much more solidity and a "direct shift" from gear to gear. Again, the shifter mechanism is different.

The actual gear structure from a TR6060 and T56 are the same, but the way it's shifted is different. With a less supportive shifting mechanism, you are more prone to gear lockout at higher RPM's.

Everyone is saying HP gains of 7 w/ boss intake? I was under the impression that the boss intakes gave you upwards of 40ish? But sacrificed tq? Only thing I can think of is someone who has all bolt ons but uses the stock intake manifold post dyno #s or better yet track times and someone else do the same but who has a boss intake on their car.... we have any two people with the same mods other than intakes?

We just finished up doing some testing with a boss intake ported and unported. Results to follow but I will say that apples for apples nothing but a stock boss intake and a corrected tune you gaine around 5 hp up top but loose as much as 20 ft lbs down low. Now ported boss is another story...

Also we plan to do some testing with the stock intake ported and not. Keep your eyes peeled for the results!

Ported stock im could be interesting.

I may be interested in ported stock as well
