First off HUGE thanks to John Boss281 Not only did he let be borrow his Bogarts, he drove an hour to meet me on Friday afternoon. Thanks again bud! I owe you one

Weather was in the high 30s/low 40s all day. Clear and crisp, don't know the DA yet but I am guessing it was pretty good. Same mods as before except I was using Johns Bogarts with 26 in. ET Streets on them and skinnies

First pass I launched at 5000 off the 2 step. 60 foot time was a 1.72 with a spin but the ET was a 12.09@113 mph!!! I felt I really had a shot at 11's if I nailed everything.

Raised the launch RPM to 5500 went 12.07 and then a 12.06 both at 113 mph both with 1.68 60 foot times

I watched a video of a pass and the stock shocks are just WAY too soft. The car would squat hard and not leave hard.

I decided to raise the launch rpm to 6000 and see if maybe a spin would work better. It worked and the car ran a 12.02@113 with a 1.64 60 foot time. SO F'in close!!!!!

Came around for one more shot at it. Raised the 2 step to 6200 rpms. It was all or nothing on this pass. I was going to give it hell and hope for the best. Launched at 6200 and banged every gear at 6200

60 foot 1.62 best ever!!

1/8th mile [email protected]

1/4 miles [email protected]!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :highfive:


I am beyond happy right now. I knew if I got everything right and had good weather the car had 11's in it. Now I need some good shocks, my own wheels, and I think it will go 11.80s with the stock untouched motor :)

I knew it was good but didn't think it was that good! Where did you get that number?

Start cruising the forums and get those signature times updated!! Way to go man. At the SSOTN spring event, I'm having you drive my car. It just goes to show that the driver mod may be the most crucial one that you can have.
