4788 (SRT8) to 4729 (SS) (I also have 4875 listed for AWD.)


Those could be wrong just grabbed the first numbers I saw. Anyone have good numbers?

My SRT8 weighs 4680 with no weight reduction without me in it. That's with 1/4 tank of gas though. I don't have any idea what a SS actually weighs.

SRT8 GC have a nice converter in them. small/good stall. But they give up towing much (hence SRT's exhaust pipe location "to deter" the thought of towing anything lol)

put a yank of Vig in a TBSS and they are in front of the Jeep. all about the 60' with them..

This^ I put a 3200 stall in my 06 AWD TBSS and it made a huge difference. swapping the heavy a$$ stock 20's for envoy 17's makes a big difference too.

Sorry but it takes more than a just a stall to get the TBSS even with a SRT8. Anyone that thinks otherwise is dreaming.

I agree. There is too much of a gap in performance between the two for only a stall to make up the difference.

that 3200 stall dropped over .4 seconds in the 1/4 in higher DA.... so you are saying there is more than a .4 second difference stock for stock between a TBSS and A SRT8. Years and years of empirical data says NO. Not some guy racing that one time.

What car are you even talking about? Was it just some guy racing? Maybe they just couldn't figure out how to get out of the hole with the stock converter and the 3200 stall helped overcome the driver fail?

It's funny the exact example that you have, "...dropped over .4 seconds in the 1/4 in higher DA..." then try to say that it is empirical data and not just some guy racing that one time. Sounds exactly like "some guy racing that one time".
