11 sec Jeep

I have a 2007 SRT8 GC that is my daily driver. These things are super stout right from the factory, 1/4 mile in the high 12's at 106, 0-60 in low 4 second range. They hook up awesome and make all their time in the first 60 feet.

I can easily see how a guy with nitrous can get one into the low-12's. The main problem is the computer programing and the electronic throttle, etc. Supposedly the factory tune only gives 70% throttle in 1st gear and total timing is about 11 degrees when the engine is warm. You can NOT turn off the traction control. I was just told somebody cracked the code to have the ECU tuned to give 100% throttle and about 19 degrees timing. There is also a mod to override the traction control.

I will let you know how it works as soon as the nice UPS man
brings my ECU back!

All I can say is that out of the box these things are a hell of a sleeper car. Who woulda thought, an SUV that runs high 12's stock and is $40k brand new. I remember not that long ago buying an S10 Blazer with a 2.8L V-6 that you almost had to get out and push if you hit some old chewing gum in the Wal-Mart parking lot

well apparently that guy in the vid figured out how to turn off the TC cause he did a burnout with it..

The transfer case is electronic, comes in after a limited amount of rear wheel spin. Mine will spin all 4 tires until the traction control crashes the party. Lots of guys pull the relay for the traction control and/or transfer case but that sets a code and kills the ABS, etc. Pulling the transfer case relay makes it a 2wd. Rest assured, guys have been snipping wires and pulling fuses on these to get "big brother" out since the first one was sold

Me, I'm just thinking of running a throttle cable from the pedal to the throttle body and bypassing all of that computer crap

Colin, let me know how you like the PCM update. I assume you are getting the B&G stage II? I hate the TC and stability control on mine. It takes to much out of it under certain situations and there is no consistency to the stability control. Sometimes it kicks in and sometimes it doesn't. I need to feel confident that, if I hit it to pull out in front of someone, it's not going to cut me back till I straighten the wheel.
