Hey guys it’s a been a while since my last post or update on my beast and that was because I was busy looking for someone to tune it and make the real power out of it.

I have tried PPP before, unfortunately they failed in the tuning process and couldn’t make it run as desired so then I had to go with 2 injector simple tune just to make this beast run on the street.

Thanks to Extreme Performance who helped me in the tuning process. So then I had my Jeep on a 4WD Dyno and had it make 450.1 WHP & 435 TQ @ 6 PSI , To be honest I wasn’t impressed with the numbers though I knew I could get them from my Heads & CAM combo alone, so was Abdulla the owner of Extreme Performance.

So Abdulla Suggested looking for another tuning option, and guess who was our trigger aimed at!! … IT was Steve! At the beginning I couldn’t believe that Steve could make a change, like I thought how is Steve different from the other tuners ? What is it that makes him special? All these thoughts were in my mind for quite a while, until Abdulla told me that Steve will be visiting us soon and he will get your beast tuned! I was so excited and just couldn’t wait that finally my only last hope, can he really make me run this Beast hard & safe ?

So here Steve arrived to the shop took my Beast their and BANG Steve gave me this look and said it’s a piece of cake M8 don’t worry! I had a Fu*in huge smile on my face I just can’t forget that moment.

So the Tech’s there started replacing my injectors had them replaced with 44lb ones and just cleaned everything to get it rdy for Dyno.

Dyno Started and guess what !!

Steve Fu*in got me back to life again!!!! 551 Torque , 483 WHP on the 1st attempt @ 100 F outside Temp extremely hot was that day .. I recall it was his 1st attempt … and that was only at a top 4 PSI attempt


This is the real Beast which I always wanted & expected. Steve promisted me that I even can go higher just need to have more of his Magic on my beast. Am expecting a 500WHP & 580 Torque who knows lets wonder until then..

So yeah hopefully I,ll have it Dynoed again by Steve by tomm before he leaves, and I,ll have you guys updated. Also Steve gonna do a TCM flash for me as soon as he reaches home.

Finally Thanks Steve , thanks Abdulla you’re the great ones I just hope I can pay yah back guys.. What is better than a smile on my face which I want in this life and Steve gave me it.

I would also recommend DynoSteve he is a Monster when I comes to tuning these 6.1L SRT8’s. 422RWHP and 1895.5 lb-ft, 6.1L No turbo and No NOS.
If you get the chance and he is in your area and or country give him a call he definitely knows how to tune and he a bloody good bloke, straight down the line and no bull****!!!!

Looking forward to the TCM upgrade!

Thanks again Steve and good luck in the USA

Stay in touch

I am myself impressed by the work which Steve RDP has just made to many cars over here. He is ther Real Pro.

I couldnt imagine what our cars can make till he did tune them, it just day and night difference.

I call this "A Tune"
