Boss 302 myths

In 1976 a guy from a neighbouring town had I believe a 69 Mustang Boss 302. My buddy had a 70 swinger 340. He always bragged how that Stang would eat the dart, chew it up and spit it out. Let me tell ya, that never happened. Quite the opposite. Kim

That's no surprise. Like I said earlier.....had Ford ground their camshafts better, things mightta been different. I've done a lot of reading through the years and have yet to figure out why they ground their camshafts retarded. I could understand it for emissions reasons, but all through the muscle car era? Stupidness.
