Took the winter beater to the track

[12secondv6]

So, I went with a different route for racing and ran the jeep exactly how it is run every day on the street.

1/2 tank of gas
32 psi front and rear tires
Misc tools n crap in the jeep.

Run 1
R/T .340
60 ft 2.137
330 5.899
1/8 8.919
mph 82.42
1000 11.472
1/4 13.637
mph 104.02

Launch - 2,000 rpm's
Race weight - 4880 lbs

I was the first car down the track that morning and I spun - I didn't expect to spin but I did.

Run 2
R/T .172
60 ft 1.826
330 5.394
1/8 8.410
mph 81.41
1000 10.997
1/4 13.183
mph 102.73

Launch - 2,500 rpm's
Race weight - 4875 lbs

I hooked - I was surprised that the stock converter would hold to 2,500 rpm's.

Run 3
R/T .708
60 ft 1.846
330 5.413
1/8 8.398
mph 82.49
1000 10.951
1/4 13.118
mph 103.73

Launch - 2,000 rpm's
Race weight - 4875 lbs

I wasn't ready and didn't have the converter fully stalled - oh well.

I am fully confident that with practice I can go 13.0.

I am fully confident that if I raised the tire psi, ran much less gas and emptied all the misc crap in the jeep I'd hit a 12.9.

Either during the winter or spring I'll get a tune - that should get me a couple tenths.

I've got a couple other tricks that I'll get to in the spring

Current mods:
K&N cold air
BB Tri Flow cat back

Not bad for a winter beater right?

Oh yeah, there was a new Jeep SRT8 there (470 HP version) and I kept on beating him by a couple tenths.
