Well you're a baller now Jim. Step up son!! The rules aren't very good for the majority of Jeeps I'll say that. We always get the shaft b/c of our weight. We need more hp. to compete. I'm sure next year we can get the rules tweaked a little more for the Jeeps as Junior and I will push for it. Can't say that they'll change them but we can try. You've got the potential to run FAST though Jim. Question is...... how much boost are you going to run?

You've got a setup capable of running high 9's for sure.

Dont need Tcase and rear is optional imo
Not sure on the boost Andy would have to answer what we are starting off with. Still trying to swing the tranny from the start. Than I figure I've only got 10k max to finish it out, tires rims, TC, Wavetrac & axles & a few odds & ends. Hope to have the rest by the end of summer.

Jim

Yeh maybe but at some point they will break for sure.

Thanks for the vote of confiidnece HB, one day I would love to.

But if it wasn't for guys like you, Brian, Bill, Chris, Keoni, Paulie & I know I've missed a few others, none of this would be possible. Don't forget I was a daily lurker for 3yrs before I joined so I know all the hard work, trial & error & thousands of dollars you all spent. Because of that its easy for anyone willing to pay for it to come along & reliably build a Jeep as fast as they want.

Thanks to all you guys.

Did you have to remind me how much I really spent and how many combos I had?
Thanks Jim!!
So If I'm reading right, with my mods i would run in pro correct?
Index 12.00 all the way!!!
Yeah keep pushing for weight restrictions Harrison and Junior, I think that's where we are disadvantaged the most, and my I feel like my class, stroker class feels the biggest brunt of it. Thanks for sharing!
I see alot more guys being competitive in index then the heads up classes. Not sure why we went crazy with the rules this year but just because a combo has the potential to run 9s doesn't mean it will. Bjb only runs mid 20s on pump gas.

Yes Eskle. You are in the Pro class.

Mid 20's huh? :silly:
ok im really late here but ,
stock bottom end boost, gas do what you want and as much as you want,
BUT in pro class
No twin turbo setups. Single turbo limited to 76mm??? lol
Superchargers restricted to maximum positive displacement of 3.0 Liters.
Centrifugal blowers no larger than Procharger D1, Vortech V1 T trim, Paxton 1500.

ahhh hello did someone actually think when creating this?

or did it just sound good at the time.. highly unfair, how can you put a size limit on a single and not a twin?? eg twin 50mm ok
does a paxton 1500 compare to a 3l ?
can a d1sc even compare to 76mm turbo? or even a 68mm?

no alloy blocks ??? if your weight is over whats the big deal?

if they gonna get picky and get detailed then be fair and be realistic,

Pound for Pound The JEEP is the top dog. The AMERICAN PITBULL TERRIER of racing. Would be nice to even the playing field out though.
