How We Got Our 2005 Mustang GT Bolt-On Project Car Into the 11s!

How We Got Our 2005 Mustang GT Bolt-On Project Car Into the 11s!

Posted on 09. Mar, 2012 by in News, Videos

With our Gotta Have It Race Mustang project car coming soon, we thought it might be fun to take a stroll down memory lane and remember the last incredibly fast project car that CJ’s built–Project B.O.B.

This week’s video of the week shows Project B.O.B.’s first 11 second 1/4 mile, from December 2009, and shows just a little bit of what we expect from Gotta Have It Race!

Project B.O.B. was a 2005 4.6L 3V Mustang GT in Legend Lime with tan interior. When we bought it, we wanted to get it into the 11s with nothing but bolt-on parts. Here are the modifications we made for our 11 second pass:

- Pro 5.0 Shifter
- SCT X3 Tuner
- BBK X-Pipe with Cats
- BBK 1 5/8″ Long Tube Headers
- Ford Racing Axle Back Exhaust
- JLT Cold Air Intake
- 4.10 Gears
- Ford Racing Cobra Jet Drag Race Spring Kit
- BMR Single Adjustable Lower Control Arms
- BMR Single Adjustable Upper Control Arm
- BMR Front Swaybar Delete
- BMR Rear Swaybar Relocation Kit
- Steeda Aluminum Driveshaft
- Bogart Racing Wheels with MT ET Streets
- Rear Seat & Passenger Seat Removed

Everything else was stock factory Ford. Take a look at a few pictures from Project B.O.B.’s time with CJ’s:

Here’s what CJ Pony Service manager, Bill Tumas, had to say about Bob’s first 11 second 1/4 mile run:

“It was all or nothing on this pass. We raised the 2 step to 6200 RPM, launched at 6200 and banged every gear at 6200. We ended up crossing the traps right around 6000 RPM. We were racing a modified Z06 running on ET Streets. The results? A 1.62 60ft and a 11.998@113.53mph! With this pass, we had reached our original goal of a stock motored naturally aspirated 11 second S197!”

After we reached the goals we wanted to accomplish with it, B.O.B. was sold in 2010.

While Project B.O.B. was incredible, we expect Gotta Have It Race to do even better!

    Friken screaming. All stock except lis mentioned, ha? I have a 2006 gt. JLT, FRPP throttle body , frpp plenum, sutton hp cnc ported heads (much more flow than frpp heads) stock valves, frpp cams, behive springs, jba long tubes and x, american thinder axle backs, 4:10, coast drive line and gear 4″ aluminum drive shaft, stock torque converter and trans. turned a 12.99, 160 mph. ist time out. rt .025. poor launch on my part. What rwhp and max torque did the bob project have. what do you recomend for me so i can get in the 11′s. i feel by improving my driving skills i can maybe get 12.6, 12.75 for sure. what about takico d spec shicks and struts?

    I am guessing you meant 12.99@106 mph? Where do you race at? elevation will make a big difference in performance. The RT also doesn’t have any effect on performance, what was your 60 foot time? 106 is good for 12.6-12.7 with good traction, the first 60 feet will make all the difference.

    Unfortunately we never did dyno BOB with the headers but it made 301rwhp and 311rwtq before the longtubes and given the MPH we picked up I would guess the car made 320hp/330tq at the wheels when we ran 11′s. We switched to MT drag radials and went 11.92@114 with them. We ran stock shocks and struts with no front sway bar and CJ Drag springs. The car transferred weight well but some stiffer rear shocks like Lakewoods would have helped.
