Well I'm finally getting around to doing a write up of my path back to driving the Jeep. After the bad news about a month ago, I was searching for answers and dreading the cost that was about to follow a blown engine. Thankfully I have a lot of friends on here that gave me support and lent a helping hand. Keoni, being the stand up guy he is, made a phone call for me to Andy at PWR. Andy called me the next day with a deal that I couldn't refuse. We originally agreed to do a 392, but after a week or so, he called and asked if I maybe wanted a 419. I said why not! The decision to do heads was tossed in the air, but after much discussion with friends and my father, I decided to do a valve job w/ new seals, springs, and retainers, deck the heads and maybe just clean up the casting marks. I'm told there hasn't been a 76mm turbo 419 w/ stock heads, so we will see the real result. I don't really have a number in my head that I'm looking for on the dyno, even though 1000 hp would nice. I do however want to see a 9 second pass! This will involve a rear end upgrade, probably a Wavetrac for now from Skip, but we'll see if the money is right after this is all over. This has been a dream of mine to see it all together. I know Chris and I have had quite a few beers talking about what we would do when we ever got to this point, so I know I'm gonna feel like a kid in a candy store when it's all done. Oh, and Chris, I want you to come down so we can go searching for our little NSX friend! Hehehehe!
The list-
Jersey Boy tuned PWR 419 9.5:1
Stage 6 Single 76mm turbo kit
Stage 6 2-step
SHR Tranny w/ FTI Converter
Maybe a Wavetrac from Demon
Upgraded valvetrain from PWR
I just wanted to say thanks again to all the people who have got me here to this point: Harrison/Dwight at Stage 6 for the turbo kit- I would never be in this turbo game without you guys, Andy at PWR- for helping me out and getting me on the road, I don't think I can thank you enough, Joel (Jersey Boy)- the help you have given me has been amazing, and the things you do for this community are epic, Skip at Demon Performance- for a sweet deal on a Tranny (The car kind ), and to all my good friends on here for the support. Thank you all, and hope to see you all soon at a Modern Hemi event near you!
