11psi, that's lower than I would do. The higher the pressure the more stable it is at higher speeds and the lower the rolling resistance (free power). That's why you want to run the most pressure you can get away with, not the least.
As for bogging, I would never roll into the throttle with a 14 second car with slicks. You shouldn't need too and if it bogs it's a carb tuning issue that should be resolved. Rolling into the throttle is for traction issues... I doubt a 14 second car is going to have a tuff time with traction on slicks at the track. I could be wrong though, just saying...
NJSpeeder would know better than me. I hope he chims in and gives you some tips. His car was a 14.2 with slicks. I believe he would just punch it off the line with the L03 (edelbrock heads TBI).
On a side note, nice times for a L69 with just exhaust work. 95mph is doing really well for an old 190hp 305. Is your car gutted?
