Brian (BJB) let me rip his jeep down the 1/4 mile quite a few times this past sunday at Zmax. That jeep is simply amazing with nothing more than the 1.9L RDP/Harrop blower and headers. The driveability is amazing with SOOO much throttle response. The blower feels like it hits full boost right from idle and the jeep launches like a rocket. Too bad the track prep was less than ideal at Zmax or we would have seen some solid 11.x runs from Brians jeep. It is extremely fun to drive. Thanks Brian for giving me the opportunity to run it down the strip.

And to Dynosteve, I really appreciate the cam tuning support all the way up to the event. He got me dialed in and running awesome all weekend. I chatted with him for a few hours at the bar sunday night and he knows so much about what he does. If anybody is on the fence about trying out a tune or any products from dynosteve/rdp then don't hesitate. He is top notch and it was an honor finally getting to meet him and see his monstrous challenger smoke the tires all the way through the traps:eek:

I think Brian let a few people take his rig down the track. He deserves some kudo's for sure. I give you props Chris, if I drove his jeep I would probably have another credit card with a blower on order. :p

Steve was spitting out so much information at the bar I felt like I needed a pad and pencil! lol

Any question I had for Bill or Steve they answered honestly. You could really see their passion and enthusiasm.

Hell, when Harryballz showed up in the parking lot I asked him about his valvebody and he tossed me the key and said take it for a spin. That was the first time I met him in person mind you. Thanks Harrison! :D

No problem bro.... Chris said you were a pretty cool dude. Any guy with hair like that nowadays has to be cool.....:D Ya Freakin' HIPPIE! Anyone who owns a Jeep SRT8 I'll let them drive mine. Now, if you own a Civic or something like that...... sorry.

Actually...... she doesn't WANT to drive the Jeep anymore. Ever since the headers and no resonators..... that sealed the deal. When I first bought it and it only had the Magnaflow system, she wanted to drive the damn thing more than I did. Pissed me off.:mad: I took care of THAT pretty quick. She only drives it when she has to....... when I'm HAMMERED on a dinner date.:rofl::cheers:

Both are great guys and I'm happy to see that more people are seeing this from the Jeep guys..hopefully I'll make it to the next event with them as well. Just to give you some insight...I had to pick my car up from RDP in Ohio which is about 3 hrs and 20 minutes away and couldn't find a ride there during this one weekend. BJB was leaving for a flight 9am the next morning and offered to drive me at 6pm that night and return, get some sleep and go to FL. Hw didn't want to take 'no thanks' as an answer. Steve also offered to drive the car down to the Detroit area since he was going for a business meeting and have his wife also take an additional vehicle. I ended up finding some babysitters and got the wife to go, but honestly..when you make some friends with these two guys..they're true.

Ya, that's pretty awesome right there. Very few folks go that extra step anymore. I wanted to go chat with Steve a little, but everytime I was within eyeshot he looked pissed hah. I didn't know if that was lack of traction, or maybe he just looks that way lol.

Haha he was just mad about the track prep. Nothing to do with anyone there. No matter how busy he was, if you had a question he would answer it in full even if it took 30 minutes:D

Hey guys I thought I would post this story about Steve as well. I had contacted him as I felt my boost was coming on to fast. Steve explained I had the slowest adjustment on the blower so he said he would adjust my gas pedal in the tune. Here is the cool part We talked while he was on his cell coming home from zmax. I told him I was going for my first long 5hr drive with the jeep through the mountains to the lake and would really appreciate if this could be done soon. I was leaving Last wed, Steve had as soon as he got back made the changes to my tune and emailed it to me tue night. I know he was totally bagged but wanted me to be happy with this first run to the lake. THIS GUY IS THE POSTER CHILD FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. PS. My trip took me from calgary 3600 ft through rogers pass 4500ft then down to shushwap lake about 1000 ft. This thing is crazy fast pulling hard whenever asked and never missing a beat. I strongly recommend Steve and RDP. Thank you!!!:D
