Kick a$$ numbers man! Would you mind tellin' a fella KB brother what pulley configuration you were runnin'? Or how much boost?
I'm gonna be going to the TX Motorplex in the near future to try and join the coveted 11 second club. I do not however, have a cage, so I'll be lucky to get more than one full pass in and I want to make it count. I'm currently running at 15psig, and she went a 7.49 1/8 last week, which I'm guessing would've been 11.7-11.8 something in the 1/4. I'm hesitant to push the stock internals much further though. Once again, Congrats on the numbers

Later ,

Rob

Rob,

Thanks for the compliments. I am running a 3.00 Reichard racing upper pulley and a JDM caged 4LB lower. I see around 15-16PSI usually. At the top of second gear it spiked to about 18PSI though! I was thinking on swapping out the upper pulley all weekend to try and shoot for an 11.30 but decided against it. I will wait until I have my Bogarts and a 30" tall slick on the back and skinnies up front. You should have no problems getting into the 11's. Best of luck! I hope you get your number. Oh, for what it's worth, nobody at the track said anything to me when I went 11.53 on Saturday. -Mat-

I will let you know how things go. I have a set of front and rear Bogarts on order. I hope to have them on before Nov. 8th for the Cecil County event. I will be running a 30" tall rear slick so traction should not be a problem. I should see a tenth or too out of those. They are LIGHT!!!! I also may throw a little more boost at it or take some weight out if I am feeling saucy. I have a pretty good feeling she isn't gonna last after that weekend. I will find out though. She has treated me very good and I can't complain at all. Wish me luck! -Mat-

There once was a man from Shelton
He went down the track tires a melton,

Someone asked what was in that L
But of course it must have a Kenne Bell,

First the 60 ft passed in a snap,
Matt had his sights at the end of the trap,

The eighth flew by
The Coors light girl let out a sigh,

Was Matt going win
Hell yes he pressed on with a grin,

The board read eleven
He thought he was in heaven,

Another great story for the L
Matt behind the wheel like a bat out of hell






O.K., gotta get back to work............Congrats brother!


D-Day

Just wanted to thank everyone for the kind words and compliments! It means a lot to me. I am still riding high though! I haven't been this happy in a long time. I never would have thought my truck would be running times like it is. Thanks again. So did anyone get any pictures of my truck this weekend>??? I haven't seen any. I have some video on my camera but no actual pictures. Thanks, -Mat-
