huh???????????????????????????????????/

Looked as smooth as a Sunday Drive. No drama at all. Congrats for keeping it together and putting it to the ground. 130mph in a brick is serious business!

Nice video, it worked fine for me.

Good job! However, that thing was puffing some serious smoke out the back end.

nice video its working for me now.

Nicely done guys!! Congratulations. :D

i'll race you to 60 ft for pinks!!!!!!:D good work

Yeah, the video is working for me too.

Daum a 1 sec 60foot..WoW

Daum a 1 sec 60foot..WoW

I think that is a 1.8

Nice, What size are the meats on that thing and what is the flavor ?

Worked for me as well sick nasty

It looked to me like he nursed it off the line.

Probably nursed past 60 ft. then sprayed its balls off.

sorry, we dont have any nitrous on this jeep.

wow that is F***ing awesome congrats Hennessey/carl

great run and vid. What that coming out of the exhaust at the end of the run?

F'n Gorgeous!!

I think you should hit the Texas Mile next, would love to see 180 in a jeep!! I had my jeep on a 2wheel dyno at 180 in 5th gear with the upshift arrow bliking. It was pretty cool. Love to see how fast it can get to in 1 mile!!
Chris Hull

Great to witness the 1st 10 second run in person today!:)
Congratulations to you and the entire crew.
The run actually looked like a REALLY fast Sunday drive....very controlled, but fast as Hell.
Bill

Thats awesome too bad it'll be too expensive for most to afford but great work.

Way to go HPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice Run, Looks like blow-by from heavy boost creating excessive crankcase pressure, then when you go off boost...poof there it comes! Hope you find a good PCV solution before the lower gaskets start leaking like a seive!...Spectacular run in 5,000lb box!

Bill, you dirty dog.. :D You went back to Texas and didn't even invite me? I would have flown down for this one. :D:D

Chris HullTo hit 180 in the mile would require spinning the motor over 6700 rpm in 5th (assuming stock tire height and gearing). A gear swap would make it easier. I'd love to see it happen. I'd even volunteer to drive.

Yep the engine won't make many 10sec runs with the crankcase pressurized like that, and the rings blowing the boost right into the crankcase. :p

I guess the stock rings aren't good for boost.

Houston is right around the corner from me.
It only took me 16 hours to drive home!:eek:

Actually, they probably, Hell for a fact....BJB and I have more invested (ok spent) in our rigs than we could have bought one from Hennessey for.
Hey wait..I could include a few others with us, right, FLsrt8?
What fun would that have been though?

Wow, that's fast!

still aint shiftin right, but i'll gie ya props for running that 10.88 regardless. ;)

how hard it that thing to keep on the ground in the video it looks as if the car keeps breaking free

Jesus..that is jsut insane!!..Congrats on 10s!

Noticed you guys changed the Vid on YouTube. You cut out the finish showing all the smoke pouring out of the back end. What damage was done?

I thnk it was just oil shooting up into the PCV, dont think there was damage.

correct, no damage done other than a few mosquitos lost their lives for a split sec at the end of the track. pls dont report me to peta....

the jeep still runs strong and the owner is coming to town this week to drive it.

Just wondering what else is done to this Jeep, does it have a different rear end? Suspension?

Hey John, are you going to give the owner a shirt and tell him about this forum?

Who was this jeep built for John?

you bet he will get a shirt! his name is Rollo Tomassi.....

Somebody named Rollo owns the fastest SRT8 in the world? And he's not even on one of the forums. :boohoo::rolleyes:

Awesome thanks.

have any customers with a TT out here in CO? i have heard rumors of a custom green GCSRT8 with a TT setup done by you guys and wondering if this is true or just heresay?

Is he in the US or one of the gazillionaires from UAE:eek:

Rollo Tomasi is an imaginary character from the 1997 movie L.A. Confidential, whose characters were based on the book of the same title. While not a real person (even within the fictional movie), he is a metaphor for the sort of criminal who is able to completely get away with his crime.

Nice cut and paste from Wiki..... Wonder who it really belongs too?

In the beginning of one of the threads he states that is a 1.81 60'. Many of us commented in the beginning that that is a crappy 60' and the truck has much more in it. Read the threads from the beginning and you find the posts.

That's a lot better. :D

A 1.8 60' is not a bad 60' for a big turbo. The first 60' you're still just building boost. The alternative is to go with a radical torque converter and cam with massive timing up front.

The Jeep can't do that and still maintain stock drivability, you may cut a 1.5 60' but it would be a BICH on the street to drive. Most modest torque converters can only hold the jeep to around 3K RPM's without a trans-brake, which doesn't technically exist yet for our rigs.

I'm moving slowly on the trans brake.
Reason....you guys scare the hell out of me!:eek:
I can see someone overdoing it and burn up the tranny in an instant.

We will see over the winter.

A trans brake will be hard on the rest of the driveline based on the weight of the Jeeps.

I agree, but how sick would that be to have a turbo jeep spooling at 20psi before launch:eek:

Bring that 426tt to the Charlotte event John, somebody's got to run 10's in a jeep it might as well be you. Theres a good chance that no other stroker turbos will be ready by then, I know of 3 that are trying but they're last-minute builds.... and somethng always gets fubar'd the first time :rolleyes:
