So Bill, safe to say the new drive shaft he's running could be seen on a Jeep soon? Have you tried it? BTW, great stuff. Sorry I overlooked you on the list ;)

Yeah bro it almost looks like your setup! He is also running 14 psi! Can you imagine when you change the pulleys on your BEAST and are running more Boost Pauly. Your Beast will really be untamable!! LOL! Had to use JHriss's line:D Hehehehehehehe......

Wish we could put 16" rims on our Jeeps and we could have numbers like that.

The race weight of that Charger is 3750, Hemi c's Magnum is 4450 and we are 5190. I think we need more than 16" rims. He trapped at 145 which for us with 3.73's would have us in 5th. He is running 3.06 gears and a slightly smaller tire probably has him trapping near the top or 4th gear which is optimal.

For me 4.33 gears would be perfect for my HP. I would trap at the near the top of 4th gear and I would go through the gears quicker resulting in a faster time.

same setup on a Jeep considering the weight different of 1000lbs would = 10.45secs (approx). That's not considering the drag radials/slicks and skinnies the Charger is running. Still mid-10s is an awesome number for a street Jeep.

I would still be in fourth and I have a lot more horses then they do!!
