I don't have a 440 cubic inch engine Vinny, so there's an 80% chance Chris will take this one. However, a smaller pulley will make up for some of the size disparity, so a rematch will be held eventually. I'll be back in three weeks with a little more boost. :D

By the way, you aint getting my Vortech, no way, no how! That is unless and I blow the engine and buy a 440. :D

Chris, I should be there too.
Ant, looking forward to meet you bro. Ant, you might be asked at tech inspection to have a fire rated jacket. You have to have one when running aftermarket turbos, S/C or nitrous. If you don't have one Etown sells them.
Hopefully we get nice cold temps on Wed. night.
Vinny, let's line up right after Chris and Ant. It should be fun to see a black vs silver SRT jeeps and then black vs silver again. :)
Ryan, nice to see you representing the silver SRTs also, see you on Wednesday bro.
Eddie, you are not racing bro? :eek: Common bro, is not bracket, this is the type of racing that you wanted right, heads up? You and Ryan should line up too so we can have another black vs silver match up :D.
bcm0018, you will have no problem racing those cars, you'll see plenty of those there. Looking forward to meet you.
SRT8_Paratrooper, if you have a helmet bring one. Looking forward to meet you too.
Keoni, I wish you could make it bro, I would've love to see that race between you guys.

Guys, Etown requires a helmet to race.
Here's a quote for the helmet rule right from their website...
"any car running 14.00 and quicker in the 1/4 mile requires a Snell K98 or 2000 or newer OR SFI 41.1A helmet"

If you guys don't have a helmet, Etown rents them, I think for less than $10.

It was at cecil county 3 weeks ago maybe it was 65-70 I believe. Just dont remember.

Yeah 09 inferno with options 1 and 2 :) only have 2300 miles so I figure it might get faster with some more miles on it. That and if we get some nice cool weather it should run better. My best was 12.903 so I'm hoping to get into the 12.8's with a little luck. I need to experiment launching my 60' are 1.85 and I think they should be better, not sure though.

How are you launching it? What works best for me and others around here is not to power-brake, traction control off and shift it in 1st and let it up-shift by itself at WOT.

The radiator is going in right now and the oem tensioner will go in tomorrow when it arrives. It was sent overnight, so there are no guarantees it will arrive. Hopefully it makes it here early. A tensioner alone wouldn't have been a big deal, but since it took out the radiator this is going to be a $6-700 mishap. :(

So Keoni, did you reinstall the factory tensioner or upgrade?

Grip.....I sh!t my pants when it happened, I bet you did too...Loud Boom and the engine temps start to shoot thru the roof. I limped mine home and put it in the garage . I went to "Advanced Autoparts" and they had one in stock.

It's not an "OEM" Jeep/Mopar part, but I'm sure it's the same as OEM (didn't upgrade..no)

The first pic above was the new one I had bought

Grip Grip
10-20-2009, 02:58 PM
The problem I see with the OEM tensioner is it's aluminum. I think us supercharger guys need a more robust steel tensioner. There are some aftermarket ones I saw today online that I'll eventually upgrade to. Unfortunately, I'm stuck with another OEM tensioner until I get back to Tennessee.

I stand corrected, Mario. I was looking at the tensioners earlier at work on my phone and thought they were constructed of steel. Now that I'm in the motel on my laptop I've realized they are aluminum also. :( Hopefully mine failed due to the 110K miles, but I think the Vortech is the blame. I'll post up the info when/if I find a heavy duty tensioner.

damn guess i need to helmet...really glad they rent them. i never thought id need one cause i never owned anything that could do the 1/4 in under 14 secs. lol

Just double check with E-Town web site. The first time I went, I had every intension on renting a helmet for $10 and calling it a day. The guy checking me in told me that under 14.00 sec cannot rent. Once you make a run and they see your time, they'll make you go buy one so I went ahead to save the aggrevation and wound up having to spend $150 for a helmet that day. Wife was NOT happy. Lol. I think the whole rental thinng is if you have a slower car but still want the helmet.

That could possibly be the gayest thing I have ever heard. If you acutally need it you cant rent one...geneius!!!

SRT8 Paratrooper, see if anyone has extras otherwise as long as we dont all line up together you can share with others. I have an extra I was bringing for Anthony to use. I do have a third helmet but its a small and its pink...

Thats the thing. If all the Jeeps plan on staying in the same group to race each other than its either you go or you don't. There's really no time to race and than come back and hand off your helmet to the next guy. I hate to rain on your parade but thats just how it goes there. Very quick.

Hey, Paratrooper. My plan was to only go to take pics and vids. I'd rather you have your first time experience go smooth so I'll bring mine for you to use. I don't have cooties. Lol. If I wind up leaving before you, I'll catch up with you on here to meet up and get it back. I don't go often so no rush.

If you're sharing a helmet or renting one, you can opt for a head sock like this one. (http://www.soloracer.com/gfheadsock.html). Or you can be smart like me who saved one from the SRT Experience :)

It was nice meeting you Ant, and it was nice meeting everyone else also.

OK guys, here's the scoop...
We had a total of 7 jeeps racing and 2 not racing.
There was tons of cars braking tonight and the waiting time was just ridiculous, we all had a total of only 2 runs.

Chris and Ant race each other the first time and Ant end up winning that one... I'll leave it at that, but it's on video :D The second time we raced Chris ran a better time than Ant's (also on video I think).
I raced an old Oldsmobile with a crazy cam, I swear that thing sounded like it was going to kick my a$$, but end up running a 15 something to my 12.7. Then on my 2nd run I raced a TBSS, he ran a 14.2 and I ran another 12.7, on both of my runs I ran a 1.7 60 ft.

I'll let the others comment on their runs.

BTW, Eddiefig took tons of pics and video, can't wait til he post them up :D.
Thanks for been the designated photographer tonight Eddie!

It was nice meeting everyone!!

I killed a mazda 3 with stickers which was suprising cause we all know they are good for at least 10 hp a piece. I ran a 12.9.

Second run was against an old 5.0 mustang with pillar gauges, drag radials, and I'm not sure on the mods. I killed him from the start but he just barely snuck by me at the end :( I went 12.845 with a 1.803 60', my new personal best :D and he was one of the people that didnt want his time displayed.

it was a great time meeting everyone. i have to figure out why im so much slower than you guys. 13.3 @ 100 with a 1.88 60ft. think my CMR might need adjusting...not sure guys honestly im kinda disappointed. :(

Hopefully a revised CMR tune can wake it up a little bit but I dont know if it can get you the 3 tenths. Maybe next time switch drivers with someone and see if they can do better. If they do than you just need some seat time :) Also maybe you can get an underdrive pulley, should help. I want one!!
