Well, I got my chance to run the 1/4 mile this past Saturday at the New England Dragway in New Hampshire. The best part about my runs is that the only mods I have are a 4" CAI and a CMR tune. The muffler change and reenator delete don't add any HP, as they are more for just sound. Anyways, my best run was 12.79 @ 105.45. I text Andy and he corrected my time, so corrected it would be 12.59 @ 107.1. Corrected or not, it was great to throw my Jeep down a track in 12.79....and everyone there was completely shocked, I don't think they had ever seen one before. I never lost a race, out of seven....but then again I only raced damn Honda's with turbos and nitrous...so no good competition, hahaha!

On a side note, I was also in the car show there and won a trophy in a mild class.

I will post a couple videos when I get them from my friends.

Okay, I just got the link to the video my friend made. I do not know how it looks since I am at work and cannot watch it, but I will post it anyway. The 12.79 run is when I am on the farside going against a white Honda, enjoy and let me know what you think:

nice times matt, Im only at a corrected 12.64 @ 105 with everything you got plus headers. :(

What were the conditions like?

Must be a real good track or your truck is way strong. How many miles you got one her?

Matt McKenzie

Yeah Tony, I think I have a really strong truck...me and Jeff talk about this a bit, just well built, and takes the mods great. It was overcast and around 70 degrees.

My best time, the 12.79, came after a 3 hour cool down with ice on the mainfold. I brakestall to inbetween 1500 and 2000 rpm's...and it launches just nasty...like I said earlier, I will try to get a couple vids up tonite....one of a 12.90 run with a great launch and of course my 12.79.....

Here is what my timeslip looked like:

R/T ... .366
60' ... 1.806
330 ... 5.225
1/8 ... 8.134

Wow a three hour cool down. What kind of temps did you have after a 3 hour cool down? I cooled down for 45 minutes but when I go to the track friday I will cool for a few hours.

Nice 60' time, and 1/8 time. My best 60' time is 1.89. Maybe I will try to brake stall next time. I believe Andy's tune gets rid of torque mngt. so we dont bog down like before.

Did you see you best 60' time by brake stalling or just mashing it?

Matt McKenzie
08-04-2008, 01:55 PM
I get better times with the brakestall, my mashings were getting my 12.9-12.97. I do now believe whole heartedly that Andy's tune are the sh!t!!!!

Wow I might have to try some brake stalling on friday. Ive heard that mashing is better but maybe for some it is not. Im assuming your 60' times were better with brake stall also?

Thats what I have been doing and my 60' times were 1.89 at best.

Now that Matt got a 60' time of 1.80 by brake stalling it makes me think I should try that...

CentralTexHemi
08-04-2008, 02:35 PM
I quit caring about the 60' and only worry about the end result but you can try both ways not saying his way is wrong. I think he carries a photo of Ace in the passenger seat for good luck try that

OR were just patient at the track and let it cool off-JK had to mess with ya. Trust me once I've got the hood popped, the ice on the intake and sitting in the stands I have been tempted to go run as I will see a vehicle I want to race. If you let it cool with ice for 2-3 hours and make your pass after dark and it has dropped 10 degrees or so you will more than likely not run any faster the rest of the night so make that pass count, after that have fun and hot lap it if you want

HAHA I know the feeling man. I am really going to take your advice for serious this friday. I will get there around 5 and try not to run till 8 because hopefully the truck will cool off and the weather will cool down also.

I wont have a wideband by then so my a/f might not be dialed in perfect but...

I am really going to try hard to wait. I think combining that and 70F dry temps I can pull a 12.99999999

I think corrected times are a good way to put your mods on an even playing field to see how much you REALLY gained. If you correct to same standard each time you have a fool proof way to see your gains.

If I go run without headers and tune in 50F eather and run a 13.0 and go back with headers and tune in 90F and run a 13.2 that doesnt really give me a good representation of how much I gained with the new mods.

UGGH really does anyone ever read the entire post and understand it, did I say you were not and SRT owner I can read your sig, please reread my post I was making a scenario about ME

I understand but the way you made your "scenario" sound is that I am the "enemy" like you would be on the TBSS site?? Just becasue I own a TBSS..... Im sure if I only had a Jeep you would not jump all over me ......

Ill try no brake stall after my 2-3 hour cool down and if I cant get 12's then ill let it sit for another hour and try brake stall. Try to get an even comparison

Here's a thought on brake stall or no. I notice when I mash mine with no brake stall there is a momentary lag before it launches. When I break stall it goes instantly but I doesn't feel like it launches quite as hard.

Maybe you need to lead the lights a little more to get the best launch with no stall.

If you've done both, see if your reaction times are longer with no stall vs with.

I never said I didnt believe you! ? ! ? way to type words in my mouth :cool: I just have always been a believer of posting actual timeslip! That way no one can question it!

Hey look, if Matt said he ran a 12.79 he without question ran a 12.79. He is an honest person and has no reason to lie.

The thing I hate about all Internet forums is all the jealous people out there whether it pertains to this thread or others. It seems as if people don't get their 2 cents worth they are not happy.

I am pissed. I may start a *** you thread here soon.

Well, I got my chance to run the 1/4 mile this past Saturday at the New England Dragway in New Hampshire. The best part about my runs is that the only mods I have are a 4" CAI and a CMR tune. The muffler change and reenator delete don't add any HP, as they are more for just sound. Anyways, my best run was 12.79 @ 105.45. I text Andy and he corrected my time, so corrected it would be 12.59 @ 107.1. Corrected or not, it was great to throw my Jeep down a track in 12.79....and everyone there was completely shocked, I don't think they had ever seen one before. I never lost a race, out of seven....but then again I only raced damn Honda's with turbos and nitrous...so no good competition, hahaha!

On a side note, I was also in the car show there and won a trophy in a mild class.

I will post a couple videos when I get them from my friends.
Impressive times Matt

Are you talking about your TBSS? Two totally different vehicles. I'm sure the weight difference and 4 speed tranny have something to do with the difference from 1/8 to 1/4.

You might just have a weak Jeep. There have been a lot of different times between stock trucks, some are built great, others not so...who knows?! Poor TBSS, hope it gets fixed soon whatever is wrong!

Actually it was an import only day (4/6 cyl). But a buddy of mine who owns a shop in that area told them I drove from Upstate NY to run. So they let me do run only, I couldn't be in a class or do brackett racing. I ran 7 times and won all of them. Closest was like a high 13.

My friends in the crowd said there was a lot of comotion in the stands after my very first run...after that, everyone came running to see me whenever I was up...felt great!!!

I have to check the vid out when I get home, I can't see it at work....glad to hear the editing is good!
