Well first I would like to thank Andy @ MHP for his help (see banner on my winshield).
I still need my PCM and CMR tune Andy!
My times were much better this time, I ran a best of 12.6 compared to my 12.9 last time at the track, but corrected it shows that it was about 2 tenths improvement with the new mods from Andy. The new mods are the SLP UD pulley and the thermalnator intake spacers.

OK, so I did not have a single run on the 13s, all were between 12.6 and 12.9, even during some hot lapping.

Bottom line I think the SLP UD pulley is good for 2 or even 3 tenths gain, since I knew I could have gotten a 12.5 in one of the brackets, The jeep launched so hard without any wheel spin, caused me to brake out at the end (ran faster than my time), I ran a 12.7 and that was on the brakes hard before the finish line, if I wasn't on the brakes I'm sure a 12.5 was possible. If you see my timeslip you would know I was on the brakes when you see my mph at only 95 mph.
I give the thermalnator credit for keeping my times so close together now (more consistent) being that the jeep runs cooler even during hot lapping.


Guys post your best times from Saturday here and pics or video if you have...
It was nice meeting you all, I had a blast, I'm sure you guys had a great time as well. We got to do this again...

Here are some of the pics I took yesterday...

Wow, nice runs (and nice clean jeeps!)

Very surprised that the intake spacers + UD pully would improve your times that much, I wouldn't expect the pully to net more than maybe 10hp? You're still running the same tune as last time at the track?

Yeah, I wasn't expecting more than a 12.75 the most now.
Yeah same tune as I had last time, and I agree I don't think the UD pulley would net more than that but I'm just going by the times I've been getting at the track, I wish I could have dynoed before and after.
I wish I could see even more improvemnets after I get Andy's CMR tune next. :)

12.7 i ran it was fun

Here a video of some of our runs... including my 12.6

Just curious, with yours being an 06 do you have the TCM flash?

If you mean it shifts by itself in Autostick, yes it does- dealer did it for me when I had my windown tilt activated.

Thanks Mario!...every lil bit counts lol. Now to work on my reaction time!

Saturday was a really really fun day I'm glad I went. I kinda really wish I would have chosen a better forum name when I joined because I never though I would meet any one in person.

Just a question Mario, how much did the pulleys run with installation?

I can't wait to go to the track next time and try to post a better time. I know ran a best of 12.9...ehh I wanted to at least hit 12.7.

Next time I get my oil changed I'm going to have my TCM flashed so Autostick shifts by itself.

O yeah and all the pictures look great and nice meeting all of you. Really cool guys. I think im gunna ice my block next time.

That's my Jeep with the broken hood strut (top right corner), so everyone knows. LOL :D

If you get I'll hook you up with Leigh for the install, he was racing his Magnum SRT8 there, he's a tech at a jeep dealer (its close to the track) and he was the one that did the install on mine. He's a cool guy, not your typical jeep technician, this guy knows this SRT cars well, plus it helps that he owns one.

O yeah and all the pictures look great and nice meeting all of you. Really cool guys. I think im gunna ice my block next time.Forget about the ice bag, get the thermalnator from Andy also.
I was able to leave my hand on top of the intake after a run, now try to do that without the spacers.
All I do after each run is turn on the fans with the jumper and that's it.

nice run and your jeep is toooo clean :)

Looks like it was a good time!!!!!

fantastic results guys.....that was some beatiful MOPAR POWER keeping the track hot.........that EVO got TREED bad....VERY BAD....those are supposed to be 60' monsters but that one got spanked..........

keep the vids coming...







Thanks!...I hoped for a lil better, but O well- do you know where to correct 1/4 mile times?

here are the ABSOLUTE BEST TOOLS available.....

i'll go start a new thread and ask the MODs to sticky it.........


WEATHER FINDER (http://www.wunderground.com/)......this link will give you the weather conditions nearest the track, search the city the track is in then go look for a weather station nearest the track by looking at the weather stations on a map, once you are viewing the data from a waether station you can enter and past date to retrieve that data....



DA Race Converter (http://www.modulardepot.com/density.php)......put the weather conditions from the weather link above and you will need the actual TRACK ALTITUDE to calculate the corrected time and it will give you the relative DA for the day.....

WARNING THIS IS A N/A CORRECTION TOOL....if you are running boost or nitrous your corrections will not be relative, you will naturally run faster in cooler weather but it will be VERY SLIGHT compared to this converters calculation variables



JUST AS A BONUS HERE IS A RACE TEAMS CONVERT ANYTHING WEBSITE...... (http://www.wallaceracing.com/Calculators.htm)

nice run and your jeep is toooo clean :)Thanks bro, yeah I had the jeep really shiny that day:D

Looks like it was a good time!!!!!Lot of personal best that day including a Magnum SRT8 running a 10.6

keep the vids coming...Thanks man!
Yeah, a lot of people thought that evo was going to win.

I might have other video's, I'm trying to get the ones were I ran my friend with his magnum SRT8 twice and beat him both times, but that's cause he was running his street tires, before he raced me he was running the DRs and he was running 12.5.
If I get those videos I'll post them here.

Nice runs....FYI..next time put a few cuts in that banner so it follow the contour of your windshield better and you can represent Andy in a cleaner fashion :)

Didn't think of adding cuts to the banner, maybe next time, we installed it in a hurry as they were calling us to get to the staging lanes.
I'm sure what Andy cared most was the numbers my jeep put out and not how the banner was placed. ;)
But I'll keep that in mind for the next one.

Looks like you guys had a blast.......Pics and Vids are AWESOME

Here are some more pics guys...Sorry im late in posting..

dam wish i stayed for a little

Cool pics Ryan!
Thanks for posting them.
That bike was nice but there was a couple of turbo busas running 7s @ 19X mph, and I think one was with a girl riding it.
So, are we going to see you back at Etown for the next one?

What kind of spoiler is that?

Mario, no problem with the pics. And I know what chick your talking about on the busa. I have the video on my computer of her running a mid 7 1/4 mile. In addition 2turbos I saw nos as well on a bunch and hydraulic shift kits. I have 2upload the video to Youtube later. And you bet I will be there as long as its on a Friday or Saturday!

What kind of spoiler is that?
Its a cardata spoiler. Keeps the back window much cleaner than the mopar one. I like it.

Looks pretty cool. Did you go with painted or unpainted?

YUP I think its looks rally cool- I get compliments on it every now and then- I actually got it from a Forum member who had it painted red originally- had my bodyshop color match it for me. Came out great!

How much did the paint cost? They want an extra $90. Not sure if that's good or not.

Did you 3M tape it or drill it?

I'm between the cardata and mopar one. I can't decide at all. The cardata one is really unique and cool. the mopar one is suddle sleek. I'm so in between

I paid 100 bucks for the Spoiler from a fellow forum member- he said he had taped it on originally, and I paid like 50 bucks to have my bodyshop prep and paint the spoiler.
I first tried the 3m Tape but it didnt really sit flush- there was a gap on either side that I didn like- not sure why it sat retarted- ended up using clear silicone and in the winter im going to really clean up around the edges and seal it to be safe- that suckers not going anywhere now though!

I had the Mopar- it looked cool but wasn't functional- ended up getting the cardata and I like the look of it and it keeps the back window clean so now it gets dirty at the same pace as the rest of the car.

Only $50 to prep and paint? That's pretty good. Cardata wants a long time if they paint it.

Yup- it was 30 Bucks for the paint also- hes really good friends with my dad and we throw him alot of business so he helps us out when we need stuff done.
