No details / no sig, what are we talking about here?

I'll have a better idea come Mid March how far off I am from 11's. I ran a 13.69@101.xx bit since I've added 4.10's and a 100 shot, so we shall see. I have cams on the shelf. But I think a stall will be my next add. I think that would get me close.

He posted some details about his truck in the 1/4 mile time thread. I was impressed with his 60 ft time. He needs to make up about a second to meet his goal.

Interesting.
I'm pumped for winter to pass to get some runs in!!

Over the winter I'm going to be porting the blower inlet to accept a GT350 TB, I've got a 10% overdrive IW balancer along with 3 smaller blower pulleys, and a FuelMAX this should hopefully support enough fuel for ~14 psi on E85, if it's not enough fuel I have a contingency in place, just not looking forward to it. If that doesn't meet my goal then I'll probably swap out the torque converter...

I think I'll be in the 11 no problem. Thats just the start.

Sweet. Can’t wait to see how it moves out. I like the chargers down there...that’s a lot of weight moved behind the axle vs all the ones with them under the hood.
Can they run the filter inlets up high and dry or you just gonna wing it in the rain?

BOOSTED17

This will be available as a kit soon. The kit that is offered for the mustang filters are down low no issues with rain and you would have drive through 1-1/2 feet of water to have a problem just to give an idea. But yes the filters will be up high so that you can go off roading and not have a problem. I'll post more pics soon should be done next week.

The high HP factory vehicles are irrelevant to 95% of the customer base. If you have the cash to play ball, you were probably going to buy whatever car you wanted and build it the way you want to. On the subject of building it the way you want to, one can easily buy a loaded F-150 or GM truck, put a blower on it, and get the same (or better) performance for a lower price than the Chrysler vehicles you’ve referenced. The warranty is irrelevant on a car approaching 6 figures. If you need the warranty, you can’t afford the car.

For the rest of us buying as a DD, after about 400HP in a car or 500HP in a truck you’ll probably run out of traction before you run out of power. As mentioned by several people here, you may not even get the big results away from the track.

I rode super sports and I’m perfectly content with the 5.7 in my challenger. Frankly I’m glad that I opted out of the scat pack, demon, and hellcat options regardless of sticker price. I wouldn’t use the power over the 5.7 on a regular basis and I’d be paying quite a bit more in fuel and insurance costs.

The wrangler platform is good for one thing only - driving off road. When kept on the pavement, it’s slow, underpowered, plain, uncomfortable in all but the luxury trim levels, and delivers poor fuel economy. The short wheelbase makes it undesirable in the snow. Slip the tires and it only takes a moment to be sideways. I see no appeal in sprinting to the parking lot every time it rains unexpectedly, inviting every passerby to steal my property, or cleaning random people’s trash out of my car. Do you?

^^Yup my sister has one (which they do take off-roading a lot) but anything at highway speeds and it feels like it will shake apart, poor fuel mileage, etc....so they take his Ram 3500 as it is more comfortable and the wrangler is the grocery getter during the week.
