Yup he sure is.... Thats Retro Kings 440 Beast.... If anyone claims to have the fastest Jeep out there then you will find them on this forum... hehehe...
No Juice all motor. We built this Iron 440 for him about 2 years ago making around 670 to the wheels and will be refreshing it this winter to get a little more out of it and to set it up for some Juice.
Maybe I'll chime in... lol! Yes, all motor currently but Chris was a little off in the power rating...it is actually closer to 650 with the mild build. I say mild as is actually slightly below 12:1 and a small cam comparatively to the stuff some are running. Joe ( Lpm) and I came up with this configuration 2 years ago and it worked out fairly well. Still haven't sprayed it, but next season I mostly likely will. Going to tear it down in the next month or two so we can see how it looks and I'll decide at that point what I'm doing for sure. It will either be more for nitrous or straight N/A with a wilder spec sheet.
Picked up a bit of power recently and hoping for 10.20's-.30's next time out on good tires. Of course, the new SHR tranny will finally allow it to run to its potential.
I have a Viking now. The new SHR tranny wasn't done when I got it from Eddie, but we arranged for it to go back when the new parts are ready. I had a Century tranny previously as Chris stated, and the first one I had seemed to work fine except a flare right at the 3-4 shift when I was under 600 rwhp. Sent it for warranty and got bent over with no lube and I don't take too kindly to that! Lol! However, I am making more power now and I don't think the Century liked to work with anything above 600 to start with so I gave Eddie a call and couldn't be happier with how it worked out. Thanks Eddie!

Thanks Eric! What exactly is 3rd to 4th gear flaring? Would that be like rolling into gear or if you saw it in a log would rpm ramp UP and then go across and then ramp down?
It was like it would pop out of gear for a split second before it actually shifted. Yes, you could see it on the log as an rpm spike right before the shift.
pretty sure this jeep did a massive wheelie once,, bounced and all looked amazing!!!
but BB has done the biggest wheelie ever,, i think one rear wheel came off the ground too..
it was awsome to see it it lift,, and sickening when it landed ,, oooouchhh boy did it come down hard
