Got just a text from Paulie.... 11.6@112 not too bad!!

Thats super impressive. Congrats Paul:D

Hopefully he'll go lower. This kinda changes my mind about what to do. Imagine if he had headers, cam, heads?!?! Keoni's truck should be NASTY!!

Certainly faster than anyone expected, i said 11.9@115... he must be making crazy 1/8 mile and 60' times, but 112mph says he's dying out hard in 4th gear.

Paul whats the temperature out there in cali? :cool:

Thats awesome.

MORE BOOST MORE BOOST!!:lol: Annnnnnnnd how much is this kit?

Sounds like he is making great power and boost and then in 3rd and 4th gear there may be some KR present. The mph definitely does not match the et especially considering its a centrifugal blower.

I was about to post the same thing. I was running those trap speeds with a 12.1. His 1/8 must be blistering and then die off in 3rd-4th gear.

He needs to throw some race gas in there and see if it changes.

+1 Agreed

After the 3-4 shift though the RPM's drop substantially and dont' swing back up immediately like the 1-2 or 2-3. So the demand on the blower is just as great but the crank isn't spinning as fast, could be reaching for more timing.

An 11.6 should be trapping closer to the low-side of 120mph.

Temp on the track is 43F according to Paul.... just about perfect conditions for an AWD car that doesn't care about hooking, 10 degrees above freezing. I'd say he is 11.9-11.8 during the warmer months :p

That puts him right on Par with FASTSrt8's Vortch-blown stock block from Tampa.

Didn't Fast have heads/cam/headers though?

Sounds like the blower was tuned on the dyno in 3rd gear and it isnt liking the extra load presented by being in 4th gear. Someone tell Paul to datalog his next run and if he is seeing more than 3 degrees of KR in fourth gear than he needs to try adding about 3% of fuel in that area and possibly remove a couple of degrees of timing. If there is no KR, he may be running real fat in 4th gear. Something is definitely wrong on the big end of the track.

FastSRT8GC was running heads/cam/headers.... here's his sig.

FASTmade Ediff & TCM switches, 170 Stant, B&B Catback, Dynamic Heads, FRE Hellfire Cam, Kooks LT's
ARIZONA SPEED & MARINE Vortech SuperCharger Kit, ASM Phenolic Spacers, UniChip,
B&G StageII, UniChip, Kenne Bell Boost a Pump, Walsh Racing Heat Exchanger.

Didn't Fast have heads/cam/headers though?

He may have, will have to research it. But that was PRE-TUNING days too... the two anomolies may cancel themselves out when compared to a fully tuned headerless/camless rig like Paul's.

Gotcha covered bro..... save your energy.:D

I hope they don't kick him off the track for no rollcage.

I still say the Vortech makes more power than FASTs ASM kit. Remember FAST also had heads/cam/headers and ran 12.0 @ 112. He didn't dip into the 11s without nitrous.

Maybe his tranny was slipping 4th!:eek:

Nice times, congrats!

Thats great , Congratulations !!!

Pauls 1/8 was a 7.4@92 and 60ft. was 1.6

Maybe his tranny was slipping 4th!:eek:

There is no way his tranny would be slipping. If the 2010 jeep srt is going to have the 500hp srt with the same tranny as now i'm sure that its fully capable of holding that power. At 600hp i would seriously worry about life expectancy. I can presume its the tune, if its such a conservative tune it might be causing the power to just richen out too much in the higher gear ? The vehicle needs to be strapped on a dyno w/ a wideband and tuned from top to bottom. That would give him more power/a better powerband/ and increase motor life. Now the tcase would probally be the first thing to self implode.

He put down 517whp. That's 630hp at the motor taking 22% drvetrain loss in account. That's easily enough to nuke that tranny. I'm not saying that IS the problem, but we all know his driving habits and he's had it back for a little while now.:D It very well could be tuning for sure. I hope so. The last thing he needs it to call BBill with trying to buy a new house and all.

Well if i was paul i'd routenily flush all the fluids every 10k period.

I would agree that Paul's Vortech kit puts down a lot more power than FAST's, but FAST didn't have any tuning, just lots of bolt-ons.

I dont think his tranny is slipping in 4th gear, if you look at his 160mph video the rate of acceleration slows way down in 4th/5th. Its like PPP said, its either pulling timing or running out of pulley.

I got his text too.........Congrats Paulie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My kit should be here in a few weeks. Can't wait to see what H/C and Headers will add to this ET. We'll have to wait and see.

CONGRATS AGAIN

congrates paul .....

GREAT run Paul!
Bill

Great Time Paul but I also agree that the trap speed should be higher for the ET. Room for improvement ;)

what other mods does paul have??

Yeah...! I told him he was going to be in the 11s... Don't know why he was thinking 12.1 or 12.2.
Congrats Paul!

NEW UPDATE!!!!

11.57@118 1/4
7.3@93 1/8
1.6 still 60 ft.

SHEEEEIIIIIIIT that's fast! Great job and congrats Paul!

Paul paul hes our man i told you he can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's smokin'!

11.57@118 1/4
7.3@93 1/8
1.6 still 60 ft.

Holy Crap!!! Congrats Paulie!!!!

1.6 still 60 ft.

How did he go from 11.6 to 11.57 and pick up 6mph? Either this mph is wrong or the first one was wrong. Im leaning towards the first one being wrong as 118 matches 11.57 better. What did Sarge run?

1.6 60ft is awesome for no converter and a centrifugal.

Thanks guys! The first run with the low mph I shifted too early on accident...the rest have been above 115mph....I have ran about 10 times and have pulled a 1.6 60ft everytime even against sarges jeep with the protorque....I got some good head to head videos of us!

Letting the beast cool down now iced off and hoping to get a 11.50 11.49......roll cage teritory!

I'm amongst the fastest here....faster than the gt-r, 335, 135, amg cl/cls/clk63's e55's, and everything else except a Porsche and some crazy modded clk BLACK SERIES

It kinda sucks cuz I had so many more plans for my jeep and I've already surpassed my goal.....

Oh and my tranny is perfectly fine guys. Getting all fluids changed wed as well!

Wow, I am really impressed. Are you sure you don't work for Vortech, because you are going to sell so many of their S/C's to people on this site. And I plan on being one of them. :D

Congrats!

Thats cool Paul, i think you should change your screen name to No Weapon!!!! LOL

Now thats putting it down Paulie......quicker than my 150 shot! congrats! Keoni's ride should be Haulin for sure:)



-norm

Those are awesome times Paulie! How was sarge's n/a doing? Or did I miss a post?

Sarge is running consistent 11.6's back to back....NO manifold spacers!

Sarge is going to kick your a$$ for beating him!! :)

woohoo, that's some awesome runs!!!!

Wow that is great times paul

Congrats Paul, great stuff keep the pedal down!!!

Nice picture Winston...... reason enough for him to stick to BBall.:lol:

so let me get this straight. 1 srt8GC and 6 k later with vortech supercharger and your running neck and neck with ford GT, Z06 , vipers , ferrari's, and pissing off zr1's and getting decent mpg for what it is and can haul the kids around AND go through snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW theres the bang for the buck of the decade

For real.... I think Vortech is gonna have fun trying to fulfill orders with this kit.

For real.... I think Vortech is gonna have fun trying to fulfill orders with this kit.

My kit will be here in a few weeks. I'll install it to verify their instructions then drive to Vortech so they can use it for their final 2008 tune.

Tell them to tune it in 4th gear.....

WOW....I never expected those times and consistancy with the Vortech...Props to you Paul...My Jeep is in storage (due to weather) BUT I am now thinking serious about that system...

Congrats! Great time slips for sure. This kit definitely surpassed my expectations.

Videos or BAN PAUL!!:lol::D

When I placed my order for the kit...I was told that Vortech had 3 confirmed people that have ordered and paid for the kit (2 before me)

Any news on kits for the 07's?

My guy called me on Thursday and said they will be another 3 weeks

I hope they don't kick him off the track for no rollcage.

What is the lowest time you are allowed before a rollcage is required? Also is NHRA and other tracks different?

My guy called me on Thursday and said they will be another 3 weeks


Which vendor are you getting yours and installation? Is Bwoody hooking you up again?

10.99 i thought

What is the lowest time you are allowed before a rollcage is required? Also is NHRA and other tracks different?

11.49.........

NHRA requires roll cage below 11.49

11.49.........

Yup....11.49 you need a Cage, Harness, and a fire Jeacket

I congratulate, excellent result!

My guy called me on Thursday and said they will be another 3 weeks

Vortech has my Jeep for another 4 weeks, from what I understand, I am the last guy and then they will do the production roll out.

BAD ASS!!! Congrats Paul! So sick only a blower and tune and deep in the 11s!!!

i see a Major trend coming. Sick paul, Sick.

WHERES THE VIDEOS!??!??

I expected Paul to burn the midnight oil last night creating another "Paulie Productions" masterpieces, but I guess not. :(

CONGRATULATIONS PAUL!!!!!!.....Awesome times, very very impressive!
If I lived closer I'd be over to go for a ride in the beast.
Get that video up.

Nice Paul!!! Looking forward to the vids.

I have to state that the Vortech is very impressive....it's a beast Paul!

I have to state that the Vortech is very impressive....it's a beast Paul!

Whats even more impressive is that this is on basically a stock jeep with stock manifolds.

I posted a vid of his 11.57 on another thread

I wonder if the 3/4th shift lag Paul is having has anything to do with the missfire code he is getting every few hundred miles. Hey Paul you should relay this info to vortech so than can make any proper tuning adjustments prior to mass production.

The 3-4 shift lag is not new to F/I at Paul's horsepower level. I had it, FlaSRT8 had it, others have had it, Bryan may have had it too.

The TCM is pulling timing and the clutches are sliming themselves together. The B2 is eating itself and I belive the K3 is disengaging, you'd have to ask Bill, he's the expert.

^ ouch so you're basically saying that the 3/4 lag is a sign of the trans eating away at itself ?

^ ouch so you're basically saying that the 3/4 lag is a sign of the trans eating away at itself ?

For a lot of us approaching 600whp it was a sign, but like I said, it could be a dynamic associated with tuning as well. A phonecall to Bill would be the prudent move.

I don't have any 3-4 shift hesitation guys......and the canned vortech tune isn't the best it could be on the higher gears 3 and up but it does the trick

so let me get this straight. 1 srt8GC and 6 k later with vortech supercharger and your running neck and neck with ford GT, Z06 , vipers , ferrari's, and pissing off zr1's and getting decent mpg for what it is and can haul the kids around AND go through snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW theres the bang for the buck of the decade

I think less than $6K

So let me get this straight, without a complete tune Paul is running mid 11s?....So, after he gets his tune squared away, he should expect 11.3-11.4?

I hate Paul!!!! :( :D

I think less than $6K

Look at it this way, for $1500 in a 2 stage ZEX and FJO Controller you can run the same 11.6

N20 will always be the cheapest way to go
Supercharging will be next
Turbocharging will always be the most expensive

Sick Runs Paul!
