Re: BOSS 260 BOSS 290 whats the Difference??
greetings Simon
the main difference is the cam shafts & the E.C.U.
apart from the cam caps that are broached out to accomadate the higher lift cams & a set of higher comp pistons & a moderfied con rods & a different crank, i belive that the rest is identicle
regards
rod

They also have s/steel valves, and the balancing process is a lot more involved
