Well, after picking up the Boss from TS a couple of weeks back we were excited about hitting the track to see what the Boss would do. We got a pair of slicks for the car to try and get the best time possible. Well, I went to change my tune on the car to go to the track and the car "locked up". We were able to get it running with some help from TS and SCT but we weren't able to run the car. So, here we are.....
We are going to try to run the car tonight. Hopefully it will run what we are hopin for......

Exciting, and good luck. What times are you shooting for? Trap speeds?

Car should do 10s pretty easy I think.

Sucks you had the ECU lock you out, man. Hate it when that happens.

High 11's.

Unfortunately our local track is only 1/8 mile. Our best run so far is when the weather was cooler and we ran a 7.11 @ 99.7 mph.

We are hoping to run a 6.90 or faster, I'm putting alot of faith in the slicks.

They don't prep the track on Friday nights, so that hurts us as well, but we'll see.

Well the Boss did ok. We ran the following;

60'. 1/8
1.6. 7.17
1.64. 7.25
1.55. 7.11
1.56. 7.13
1.52. 7.10
1.61. 7.19

This was our first time on slicks. Looking for 6.90's and I know the car can do it, just need cooler weather I think.

Low 11 sec car. Cooler air you should get in the 10's. what were you trapping?

nice times, some more practice and it should run 6.90 in this weather.

**J.Shoot** · 07-21-2013, 11:14 PM

Best trap was 97, most were 95

**musclestang89** · 07-22-2013, 02:33 AM

dang I figured you would be trapping more. our kb 2v would be a good race for you.

The number 1 and 2 quickest bolt-on 5.0s (stock long block no power adder) in the country (wbt and caspergt) (both autos btw!) run the 1/8th at around 6.95 and 99mph (10.78 and 10.87 in the qtr) with only around 450hp-460hp and weighing around 3500-3600 lbs with driver so you should be able to beat that with the HP you put out (I'm assuming well over 600 with what you have.)

Here's wbt's thread: CLICK HERE

Here's caspergt's thread: CLICK HERE

I would say you should be able to do low 10's or even a 9.90 in the qtr as Daniel Pachar down at TSS in Orange TX has a couple supercharged GT cars (non-Boss) with your type of mods running those numbers.

Yeah but those are max effort cars ie full drag suspension, removed sway bars, removed weight etc. this car is full weight plus a blower kit straight off the street with nothing more then a set of rear control arms... Definately a lot left in it on a better nite. 100+ temps hurt a blower car in every aspect. Not to mention he is in Abilene which at this time of the year I bet the da is 9000+!!!! I guarantee if he comes to the metroplex he picks up a bunch of et and mph!!

Nice times!!

I wasn't taking anything away from J.Shoots times as we all know TX is horrible in the summer.

Wbt is from San Antonio and his DA the day in the link was ~1400 so his day was not perfect. Wbt and CasperGT both have stock springs/struts/shocks. UCA and LCAs are their only suspension pieces except for the front sway bar removal. Wbt even has a roll cage in his weighing in at 75-100lbs.

You have more in it J.Shoots! Good luck!
