Not picking on Jeeps, b/c I have one, 2002 V8 Grand Cherokee Limited, but I ran an SRT8 on the street from a 30ish role and lets just say he didn't win?
I know my truck isn't that fast? Or is it? Allen is the only one that knows that answer.
Anyway just a street run so didn't really count. I may take the truck up to Sealy and run it Friday if the weather is o.k. I need some new times before the truck goes under the knife again.
:thumb: nice! I wish I could find one around here to run.
It's aaaite, lol
dude thats sick!! for a 3/4! people must be like :wtf: just happend and :wtf: is that guy running! nice slopar kill
Nice!!!!! i have herd those jeeps give vettes a run for there money. i have only seen 3 of them in person and 1 on the road. nice run
Yea as Allen says" It runs aaaite"! No really it runs good. My problem now is traction, but when it bites hold on.
I was surprised myself.
I have a run coming up against a Camaro here with bolt ons. He runs a 12.8. He is going to be hard to beat, maybe?
What are you getting done?Quote:

Either a 383 LS6 or a 370 LQ9.
They are about the same price.
I am undecided. I was going to do the 408, but I decided to keep the cubes down.
James, if you hook, I don't see any reason why you will not pull him. If you outran an SRT8 GC, then you should beat 12.8. Wade's GC is pretty much stock and he runs a 12.79. Without you spinning, you should see 12.6-12.7...Quote:

O.K. Can you send some funds my way to make it go faster please.
370 is a little cheaper, but not much.

Good Kill!
Those Jeeps are nasty and tough to beat!
Not to mention sexy as hell........for a Dodge!
Not taking anything away from your kill but I'm giving out some info I should not but the SRT8 Jeep has no kickdown at 30mph that is the worst speed for us to be at to race anyone kinda like the TBSS and 65MPH, try him again from a dead stop and that way you will really know how well your truck is running. My 12.79 was with an aftermarket CAI only and the Jeep was pretty much new, it was 45 degrees and low DA that night in October so conditions were right and I just happened to be at the track that night. Now with the Diablo it fixed that no kickdown at 30MPH but still a good kill
I did already. He wanted to try again from a dig. Same thing.
That Turbo spools quick now. If I flash the converter on take off, there is no traction at all.
They are fast though. I have an 02 GC with a v8, but no the Hemi. Its pretty quick being stock.

Hey Stu,
I will try it at the track next time.
Thanks,
I was wanting to let more out?
