Jeep SRT8 426 Twin Turbo: 11.1 @ 127 mph (video)

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/W...RT8_202966.htm

Today was our first real opportunity to begin testing our Jeep SRT8 with our 426 Twin Turbo upgrade. Power was set at about 730 rw hp. While we didnt get a 10 second time slip today we did learn a lot. And we found that our baseline set-up was very consistent on both ET and trap speed. Here is what we ran:

1. 11.44 @ 129.12 (2.09 60 ft.)
2. 11.45 @ 125.84
3. 11.107 @ 127.12 (1.768 60 ft.)
4. 11.36 @ 126.30
5. 11.19 @ 127.66
6. 11.13 @ 125.87 (1.849 60 ft.)
7. 11.19 @ 125.59

Some runs got more cool down time than others over the 3 hour period when we made these runs. There were a few other aborted runs where it either spun bad out of the hole or got a bit sideways and we had to get out of the throttle. So we likely had about 10 runs total and the Jeep was rock solid.

We may try a few new things on launching this thing, its got a 10 in it now with a better 60 ft. Hopefully we will have some new numbers for you soon.

I remember when Jeep was first printed in, R&T? or MT? Great trap and mph; Have you tried the 60-130 at the track?
