Thanks everyone!!! It was a great night! Correction, it was Saturday night and we were at Ennis.
You are correct about the RWHP and 133 mph was the best I saw. Was having some difficulty cooling off the car between passes plus, it spins pretty good 1st to 2nd and part of 3rd. Still working on that. Overall, extremely pleased with the performance of my car and the tuning work by the guys at True Street.
Car ran a 10.50, 10.54 and 10.59 that night with 1.50-1.51 60ft times. Was very pleased with this.
GTR was definitely in shock that I took him.
Still think the car has more in it, maybe with more track time it will prove that it can. Can't wait.
If someone can tell me how to post pics, I'll definitely get some on here.

It's got a ton left in it. When you get everything sorted out it will be a 9 sec car for sure.

OP I have a couple questions, I was just curious if this car is your daily or your toy? Also do you take it to a real track or just drag strip

Our Boss

The Boss is just a toy. We only take it to the drag strip, we haven't taken it to a road course. We will take it out make a few runs, but for the most part we just like to cruise around in the car on the weekend. We got the car in Oct. 2012 and we now have around 3,800 miles on it. Alot of those miles are from driving to McKinney to get work done on it. It's around 440 miles round trip..... and we've made several trips.

Awesome kill O.P!! I really bet that GT-R driver did not expect that at all.
Also in for the pics and vid's of this beast. I can post them up if you want.

Was your poor 60' or were you having other problems because a 130 trap while putting down 772rwhp seems slow. Dyno numbers aren't everything but I would think you'd have a 138-139mph car. In any sense your car is beast!! Congrats on the GTR kill! :rockon:

Should be 140+ with that power and weight. Lethals 13 gt500 went 9s at almost 149mph with less rwhp.

I have a 2013 Boss 302 with a D1 Procharger, I took it to the track last Friday night. This was my first time on a full 1/4 mile track, (I have been running 1/8th mile some). I saw a GTR making some passes so in the staging lanes I walked over to him and asked if he wanted to run. He said sure with a smirk.....
Well, he ran a 10.88 (not sure what mph), I ran a 10.50 at 130 mph. It was awesome. I saw him a little later and he said he had several upgrades on the car and wasn't use to "seeing taillights".
We ran one more time but something happened and he had to let off.
I had a great time, ran a 10.56 and a 10.59 also. I am on slicks with several mods to the car.

Very nice runs Shoot. Really impressive to hit 10.50's consistently like that. You got a bad ass Boss there. But not as impressed with beating a GTR at the track with "several upgrades" when you have a Procharger on slicks. You should beat him, and you did! :beer:

Yeah I was being conservative with my MPH guess. Without a doubt a 9 second car.

What I was thinking. I can understand the et but not the mph.. Should be way higher. Is the clutch slipping or something? Good kill tho man!!

The Boss has a McLeod RXT in it. It is spinning quit a bit still. Still room for improvement for me as the driver.
I would really like to get this car into the low 10's.....
A high 9 would be amazing....

Nice kill, but a 133 trap would appear to be on par with around 600rwhp. With nearly 800rwhp you shouldn't have a problem with 140s.
