Hey guys, last weekend I took the Jeep to the track, to say the least it was awesome, everyone had a blast watching and wondering what it was. The announcer even joked when i was going to pull the front tires, i told him next time.

Haha, anyway, I have a 180 degree thermostat, bwoody intake, and the 93 CAI tune from the predator tuner and tires around 40psi. I have changed the fan speeds and I use 93 octane at the pump obviously. At the time of the run it was 60 degrees outside. I wanted to first see the difference with and without the predator, so the first run I had the stock tune in the car and i ran a 13.5 @ 99mph in autostick - this is with the bwoody and thermostat! Next run, I put in the 93 CAI perf tune, turn off ECM traction control completely, and put it in auto stick, and ran a 13.3 @ 100mph. I was really hoping that i would be able to get into the high 12s with what I have done to the car. I tried many different combos of D and autostick and found autostick to be the best. I also tried switching between traction completely off and just using the button. My best run of the night was a 13.2 @ 100mph when i brake stalled at about 2100 rpm, auto stick, traction completely off. I was pulling 60ft times of 1.8 all night.

My question for you guys, what else can I do, maybe change the tune a little? Add fuel or something? At the time the car had 7k miles. I really do not know too much but at the same time i have searched, so that is why i am asking you guys. Id really like to hit the 12s and would greatly appreciate your help. Thanks a lot for reading!

The only way to disable the t/c compleatly is with the preditor or pulling the pink abs pump fuse if thats what you did. You said your 60' were 1.8? allways list the last number as 1.80 is lot differance than 1.89. My 60' went from 1.88 to 1.79 by pulling the pink fuse. I found out that the air pressure works better for me at 40 front 35 rear and leave at idle and put the shifter in AUTOSTICK and leave it in 1st gear and let the tranny shift its self as in D mode sometimes the tranny will short shift from 1st to 2nd at 5500. Run with 1/4 tank of gas or a lttle less. You can gain .2 hundredths by removeing the back lift cargo lift lid,pull tarp and all floor mats as all them together weigh 20 lbs as every little bit helps.

Without dataglogging your runs and no wideband A/F guage there is not much you can do, you can datalog and check for knock and work that out VIA the Diablo but do not touch the fuel tables unless you have a wideband A/F guage installed as your playing with fire there, my Jeep with the same mods minus the Diablo was running pig rich but does not mean that your is doing that as well.
