Or just have her give it to me. The Silverado with the vortec tornadoes is pretty boring.

It's runs low 12s with a cai exhaust and a tune? Gonna need to see that slip lol I think I can get there if I added a cam and stall but I don't see it happening how it sits. Maybe high 12s.

I don't think I listed the mods ? Doesn't have "FBO" but does run a low 12. I text him to see he can send me mods and slip. If he's up to it

Not sure what year the Jeep is, but the quickest bolt on older body style srt8 Jeep I know of is like a 12.16.

Most run mid 12's, which is pretty impressive with those tanks. They seem to 60 well

My SRT8 Jeep was an 1/8 mile killer. Street or strip, it ran the same exact time every time. Lack of aero kills the top end tho. My best time was 13.4@101 in 5k DA. CAI and email tune from Johan.

Would love that 60 on street tires I'm sure it surprised a lot of people in the 1/8th.

My Jeep handled full exhaust Fbody cars all the time in the 1/4 mile races on the street. They just couldn't overcome my traction advantage on unprepped streets.

I fully believe it. I was shocked when I found that slip I posted above. 1.7X on street tires is naughty with a land yacht.

All I've done to ours is 3" solo an intake and tune from johan. Nitrous plugs are in but that's all I've had time for since I was so busy with my car for LS fest.

Johan is the man.

I was going to throw a 150 shot on my Jeep, but I bought my Cobra so I decided to limit myself to only dumping money into one race car. 150 shot on my simple set up would have been a hell of a lot of fun.

Mine was a dog! But I had the newer one (2013). Ran a 13.4 best but it was bone stock. Total impulse buy, sold it in less than a year, had the aerodynamics of a brick lol. About as impressive as my 5g was

Tune was a great mod for mine. Really woke it up.

It is common knowledge that talking stock vs stock the wk1 and the wk2 were on par in acceleration due to the wk2 having a decent amount of extra weight even though it had 60+ more hp.
