I just go back from englishtown i did 6 runs. I also met a member from the forum there i forgot his name but he said he will post up on here. I was the only jeep srt8 and everybody loves it. Never lost a race. and they are all hot lapped.

1st= 12.889 mph 103
2nd= 12.994 mph 102
3rd= 12.925 mph 104
4th= 12.951 mph 103
5th= 13.719 I pulled the abs fuse and the transfer case fuse did a big ass burnout and still spun. mph 103
6th= 12.692 mph 103 and spun off the line.

sorry for no pictures or video.

It cost me $400.00
I got the cai brand new for 100 dollar some one did a turbo set up and wanted it gone.
$200 for the diablo sport programer that was used but it like new.
$100 for the resonators removed.

Good to hear Vinny. Any reason you aren't running the 93 octane on the Predator? Just curios, that's all. Congrats once again for breaking into the 12's:)

You said that you pulled the fuse for the abs and transfer case? So you ran those times in 2wd???

You said that you pulled the fuse for the abs and transfer case? So you ran those times in 2wd???On his first post he mentioned that he pulled those fuses only on his 5th run, that's why he ran a 13.719, seems about right after lighting up the rears during the launch. :D

the 13.7 was with the abs and transfer case pulled i spun all the way down the track so the last run i just puller the abs fuse.

I have never pulled any of my fuses nor tried it in 2wd

tomsws6
11-25-2008, 10:47 AM
is it pretty safe to run in 2wd?

QBNKID
11-25-2008, 11:26 AM
I was told by junior666 that after he had some 2WD dyno runs he had some transfer case problems. That's good enough for me to never run it in 2WD at the track or at the dyno. If I ever need to dyno it, I'll find a 4WD dyno somewhere.

Vinnysrt8
11-25-2008, 12:41 PM
dont run it in 2wd i did it b/c my tc is making a noise and now its at the dealer getting fixed.

That's crazy... tracks here are done early November and we don't usually see snow until december... DA is finally -1500+ and there is no where to run :(

Damn you Vinny...! :D I was looking for that 7.9 on the 1/8 mile all day on Saturday, but couldn't get it, I spun in all my launches and all I got was 8.0s all day, if I would have hooked at least once I bet I would have gotten that 7.9, I wish Etown had the same track prep that ATCO has.

Your jeep looked awesome racing the Mustang. GOOD JOB!!!

I got a 12.7 @ 103 but only a 8.1 1/8. Weird. I guess I have more top end than you. Mopar CAI > Volant! :D
