    There was a Jeep on the show "Passtime", cool show by the way, and it was a silver SRT-8. Driver said it was a 426 and it was S/C'd. Looked like the Vortech set-up or the ASM one. He said it had approx 550 hp if I recall right. He ran a 12:57 or something there about. Anyone know him?

    no, if memory serves me correctly, this is an ASM S/C kit. As for the motor, not sure who built that? lol We can only speculate.

    One thing I can say about the GSM 426's and blower combo, they are monsters.

    The ASM kit, not so much... lol

    I got a ride in the 300c 426 blower Gs car while I was down there. I thought my stock motor set up with nitrous was just as fast if not faster. I knwo it was useing AUX injectors maybe its changed since then. I would love a ride in your car next time I see you ron.

    The ASM kit, if not changed to Direct port tuning, uses the Unichip piggyback.

    I saw that episode and that GCSRT8 ran like a turd, especially for having a 426 and a blower on top if it. It didn't launch very hard and if I was the owner I'd be embarrased with that time. I've been in a 426 Jeep without a blower and that thing was freaking nasty off the line, so I'm not sure what's the problem with this guys Jeep.

    Actually it was a 12.97 I think. He said it was a 426, but the engine looked bone stock with exception of the SC. Also, he said it was his wife's car!
