What RPM are you shifting at in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd? I would really recommend going to Tristate Raceway it is worth the drive. Much better than Slippery Rock. On the test and tune days it is only around $30 and you will probably get in a dozen runs or more if you want to. There is also a cheap motel across the road that is only like $40 a night. I was looking at a time slip from my one bog and will post it in detail as my 60' with a bad bog is similar to yours. I am also a little stumped because I normally trap 108 - 109 and for some reason on this run I hit a never seen before 112mph (Warrtalon, I never hit the rev limiter and Al said it is now at 7800...figured you might be interested).
Here is the detail...
RT .196
60 2.273
330 5.763
1/8 8.581 87.39 MPH
1000 10.986
1/4 13.030 112.09 MPH
I am really stumped as to why my MPH was so high with a bog. I could see wheel spin but a bog would usually lower it not increase it. The one difference besides the bog was that I had my heater on full blast. Next time I'm at the track I'm going to try turning it on after shifting into third just to see what it does to my MPH.

Here are some links to TriState...all concrete track (one of a few in the world), quite a few records have been set according to the owner, starting line = 1.59 60' in my Eclipse, slopes downward the max allowed by NHRA, and is surrounded by corn (higher oxygen content).
