Took our new tow vehicle to the track...

Ed,

I am sure that Mark will take you up on the race! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]

Better get the modifications going on the Jeep because Mark's wife never leaves anything he has stock for too long. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif[/img]

Did you see the $10K spinning wheels? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img]

It is my understanding that the trade that Mark used for the SS was a 360 Jeep SUV, A special performance package as I recall from 1998. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

There's all kinds of crazy stuff being made for the diesels now. If you haven't seen "Trucks" on tv, you need to watch the episode where he adds the propane injection and nitrous. They dyno'd some impressive rear wheel hp numbers.

Yup, my parents are always making me look bad...

I put a Turbo on my CR-V It went from 18.4[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif[/img] to 15.8 (7 PSI)It was a big deal to me and my friends. Then my parents go buy a Silverado SS and run 14.9 Stock. Well guess I better add an intercooler and turn up the boost up soon...

Dyno VIDEO




Big fan of TURBOS (especially 11sec F350's) [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Or Mark, you could just follow in your Dad's footsteps and go get you a Chevy.. Then you can run with the big dogs. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Found some facts, ed.
http://www.caranddriver.com/article....;page_number=3

Car and driver got a 15.9-16.0 out of the Jeep.
I'd say thats pretty good - was there an H.O. version???
or was that for 2000?

Guess I am getting off track here, but I remember a friend in a 5.9 Dakota R/T getting beat by a 4.7 Jeep at the track.

Guess we could both use about another second, LOL
