Hey Andy, did you get the dynos done yet?

I'm looking forward to the results. Also, I'm really coveting your new nitrous cam. :D

I'm getting my baseline dyno tomorrow and my heads/cam should be here in about a week or two.

Here's my baseline Andy. Nothing out of the norm.

Sarge there's a local 1/8th mile enthusiast club around my parts. Pretty sure if this wasn't the daily grind I'd take your model and clean house. Your ET's are incredible for your trap speed, keep it up man.


PP - Congrats on your success to bringing new options to the market. It's only going to make things faster and we appreciate it :bigthumb:

Looking forward to the results.

Ekaz heads shipped today. Still waiting on Dyno results on the stage 1 setup. Stage III is being assembled.

^^^Nice pics, somebody is going to be happy. ;)

Those look great Andy. Do you have a pic of a set of heads that show the pushrod holes or the pushrods sticking up? I'm wondering where they are located on the heads?

Any updates on these setups Andy?

There was/is a delay on the cams. They are slowly getting out/caught up.

Thanks for the update man! I am anxious to see what your Rig will put down as well as the others.

I can't wait either. It will probably be installed the weekend after I get everything.

I believe there are a few people watching this thread anticipating the results.

bump!! any updates?? so anxious to get my parts so i can sstart working on the jeep!!

I will have the mirror image of your machine my friend, quite excited about it too!

Stage III heads/cam has backed out due to delays, if anyone is wanting to take their place, please let me know.

I don't have any dynos near by, but I'll take the discount!!!!:D

Vicioussrt went to atco last night and ran a 12.5@108mph with 700ft DA. There was a stock srt8 cherokee with CAI and exhaust that ran a 13.3@103mph. Thats .8 gain in the 1/4 mile with the only difference being the stage 1 heads and stage 2 Cam. Total cost on that package is $1495.

sorry but i have to throw it in there... did you have a tune done for the cam? if you did im sure you had yours tuned pretty well... if he just had intake and exhaust then you have more then what was stated...

i dont mean to rain on the parade but it would add total cost also... :)

If they both have exhaust and CAI, the only difference between them is the heads/cam/tune. It isnt my car, I didnt have anything to do with the tune, Matt at tune time in Jersey did the tune as if it were any other customer.

Jeep A------Jeep B
CAI--------CAI
Exhaust----Exhaust
Stock------PPP Stage 1 Heads
Stock------PPP Stage II Cam
13.3@103----12.5@108


Again, the only difference is the heads/cam/tune.

whats the price on the package?

but a tune is 375 for the tuner and then a tune on top of it...

what i am getting at is a cai/exhaust/tune can break 12's... so you have something else thats all

Stage III heads/cam has backed out due to delays, if anyone is wanting to take their place, please let me know.

I might be interested in something given my current situation, but it will likely be a whole motor set up.

Most people who are buying heads/cam already have the predator. Of course a Jeep can run 12's with cai/exhaust/tune, but last night it couldnt. Just like a heads/cam car can run low 12's, but last night a 12.5 is all he could get. The point is not the actual times, but the difference between the two cars.

Let me know, I can put a motor with the heads/cam for a smoking deal.

how do you know that... the 13.3 jeep didnt have a tune... thats what im trying to say... if that truck had a tune it could have ran a 13.1, 13.0 or hell even a 12.9...

your truck had...

$1495 heads/cam
$375 predator
$200(at least) tune...

at least $2070 to gain .8 sec

258$/(.1 second) vs. the 187$/(.1) that your coming across as...

Lets give him a 13.1 with the predator, 13.1 to 12.5 is 65hp. Im very happy with that.

i think a 12.5 is great and im not saying anything negative about it. and if that jeep ran a 13.3 then the DA was crappy... ive ran a 13.1 in 1XXXda with only and intake... the heads and cam are doing their job i was just getting at you can give an idea form the jeep running a 13.3 but its apple and oranges talking about money... thats all...

you could probably get a low 12.4x or high 12.3x with good air... :D

Im thinking 12.3x in good air.

What's the normal/average cost of a heads/cam install?

I was quoted 12 to 14 hours for the Head/CAM/Header install from 2 places out here @ 100.00 an hour.

WOW. Send me a PM if you're planning on doing a swap, can maybe save you some coin.

Got everything installed over the weekend (StageII heads with hand finished ports, StageI pro series cam, SW 1 7/8" headers, 25% UD pulley, forged pushrods). I am still running on a base tune, hoping to log some data tomorrow and make any necessary adjustments.
I like this setup alot, noticeable but not crazy at idle. I actually got the tires to chirp hard off the line last night driving around. A lot more fun to drive. :D
Once I get the tune nailed down, it will back on the dyno and at the track in OH at the latest.
Thanks Andy!

^^^^Congrats bud, glad all the goodies are finally on the truck. I cannot wait to see the improvement in the 1/4 mile. Too bad the weather is so different now. Keep us updated after the tune is dialed in.

Congrats bro! How long did it take you to install the Headers, Cam, and Heads bro?

Tough call, Started around 5 on Friday night and called it a night at 11 but during that time we stopped for some food, beer, BSing with other people that stopped by, etc...
Saturday we officially started around 10, same as the day before but a lot more breaks to BS, food, beer, etc.... So we didn't finish up until around midnight or 1am. I think if we pushed on Saturday, somewhere areound 6 would be my guess.
It was a fun weekend until the end when you just want to get done. :D Half the fun is everyone getting together, having a few beers and sharing some laughs.

Thats cool bro! It would be hard to do it all in one day, but in the end it was all worth it. So what is next on the hit list bro?

If we had a whole day to do it, we could've done it all in one day without too much of an issue. This was the first Jeep we tore into so the next one should be a little quicker.
We used to work until all hours of the night but decided to maka the tear down the break point. We weren't rushing.
Next on the list is an S/C, but that wont be for a while yet. I am happy with this setup right now. I have a couple of small things that I need to finish up in the next couple of weeks.

Cool bro! Yeah I am in the same boat right now. I want to do heads and cams as well and then go supercharger as well, but I have a big trip planned in a few weeks so that will delay my plans.

I'm not sure who you are going with, but when I was talking supercharger with Andy, he was going to give me a different cam.
So if your planning on the heads/cam and then an SC a few months later, you might just want to hold off and only tear apart the engine once.

Yeah I thought about that too, but right now I am just thinking heads, cams, and ported intake. I would probably wait another year to year and a half before I went with the SC. So when does your Beast go on the Dyno bro?

Great minds think alike!!! :D There a few people I know of that are pondering this route. Keoni is already there and one other member will have that set-up in a little over a month.

I am going to get a couple revisions to the tune first, then it will be back on the dyno.
I love the setup! It has a nice lope to it at idle or when waiting at stop lights.
I did realize that I have a couple of small exhaust leaks that will addressed tomorrow. Overall, I love the power.
Believe it or not, some little GTI tried keeping up with me on 90 this afternoon. LOL

LOL! Nice bro! I like to terrorize 90 all the time too bro! Are you planning on changing out your exhaust anytime soon?

Alright, little update, I've got 150 miles on the new setup and WOW! It just keeps getting better. I got all the exhaust leaks fixed so she sounds better. As of right now, no rear O2 codes (yippee!).

Knuckles, I am not replacing the entire catback but do have an idea that I think will work.

I am going to try and get some video of it at idle today when I get home.

Hell yeah man, get that beast to the track. Post up an idle video of that pro series cam. I'd like to hear what it sounds like on that 112LSA.

Idle is very nice, a little lopey, definitely doesn't sound stock anymore. :D I tired taking some video with my cell but too much wind noise.

Are you running headers with cats and the stock catback?

I am running Stainless Works 1 7/8" headers with their hi-flow cats.

mrchevy1, you may want to start a new thread regarding the group buy for headers, it's off-topic in here and others may not see it.

What exhaust? Stock?

Yes I would but don't know how to post.

Well according to your stats you have done it 27 times already...LOL. Put the same thing you posted before into the American Racing subforum.
