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 7.64@89.35

1/4 miles 11.998@113.53!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:pileon:


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 :)

You are welcome Bill and congratulations! Laura and I jumped and fist pumped when I got your text! Just goes to show that you, Art, Henry and others are showing what the driver mod is fully capable of. Well done!

Man! That is awsome! Way to go on getting into the 11's. You guy are doing great.

FWIW... John's a good friend too. Anything and everything I ever heard him say he would do... he did.

My own Bogarts :) It REALLY needs rear shocks. The squat was killing my 60 foots so they are next on the list. I think with that set up and 4:30s it will go 1.5s and 11.80s in good air. After that I am torn between going the weight reduction route with a K member, etc or adding delete plates and cams.

Haha, I hear ya. I am giving John shit because you got in the 11s before he did with HIS Bogarts!! Too funny.

You haven't done any weight reduction, correct? What shocks are you thinking about going with?

I had the back and passenger seats out on Saturday. Probably going with QA1 rears. I always had good luck with those in the past.

At least part of Johns car went 11's!!!
