Went to Prairie Hill dragstrip outside of Waco, TX this past Saturday. We started running just before 6pm. Weather was 80 degrees, DA was +1800 and we had a strong 30 mph headwind. RUNS 1-5 WERE ALL WITH DAVES B&G TUNE, BWOODY CAI AND 180 T-STAT I INSTALLED JUST THAT MORNING: 1st pass: Damn it they did not get my 1/4 time, it did not read my wheels in the right lane, but this modified camaro that ran a 12.1 did not catch me until the 1/8th:grin: 2nd pass(hotlapped due to 1st run): .318 reaction, 1.939 60', 8.5 1/8 @ 80.93mph, 13.350 1/4 @ 97.75mph 3rd pass: .332 reaction, 1.874 60' (abs fuse pulled), 8.295 1/8 @ 82.52mph, 13.058 1/4@ 100.69mph 4th pass: Put ABS fuse back in, .468 reaction, 1.935 60', 8.484 1/8 @81.37mph, 13.295 1/4 @ 100.13mph 5th pass: abs fuse pulled, .293 reaction, 1.897 60', 8.369 1/8@ 82.15mph, 13.156 1/4 @ 98.92 mph 6TH AND FINAL RUN: REMOVED B&G TUNE, LOADED CANNED 91CaiPerf tune, pulled abs fuse AND: reaction .234, 1.861 60', 8.320 1/8 @ 82.12mph, 13.092 1/4 @ 100.55 mph. Temps never got below 70 I did have some air in my line from the radiator install dont thinkg that hurt anything, tire pressure was at 32, no stall load just lined up and punched it on the 2nd yellow. INTERESTING COMMENTS FROM SPECTATORS / DRIVERS FROM THAT NIGHT: I went with a group of chevy truck club guys so the stands were full of them and other spectators. 1."What the hell is this, they will let anything run at the track these days I bet that guy has a car seat strapped in the back of that jeep what an idiot" this was my 1st pass against the Camaro the guy shut up the rest of the night. 2. What a Jeep against an SS chevy, this will be a slaughter..........Holy shit did you see that jeep leave the line, wtf does he have in that thing he just spanked that ss. 3.Corvette C5 run: After leaving his ass at the line the whole stand erupted into laughter, daniel my buddy showed me the tape after I got back and parked they really dissed that Corvette owner for getting beat by a Jeep. 4.Hey you that guy from Hennessey 5.Hey did you see Pinks 6.I'm trading my Denali for one of them Jeeps, where did you get all the aftermarket stuff 7.SRT4 owner with QWK SRT Lisc Plate, NAH dont want to line up with you my shifter is acting weird (stage 1 plate on the back) 8.Mustang GT owner (my last run of the night) after the run and parking he pulls up next to me..."Thanks for the ass whoopin I'm going home now" he ran a 14.6 to my 13.095 We had alot of fun this was the opening of the track for the season so everyone was out. After 3 runs the Jeep started to get alot of respect from onlookers and racers even had some taking pics of it in the staging lanes, even caught the Trans Am car club guys checking out the engine bay while it was cooling down they all had nice comments about it.
I really need to get my A/F guage installed and dyno and get back with Dave to get the right tune for my Jeep
Wade on the tire pressure hot try 40 front 36 rear it workes great 4 me. I have a cmr 91 cai tune from Scott at GSM and i been out 1 time after the tune and my best is 8.260 @ 83.28 60' 1.798 worst was 8.325 60' 1.883 ( tire spun bad so i changed lanes and they fell to 1.81 ) with abs fuse pulled and da was 1131 ft and race weight is 5090 lbs. As 4 the weather i found out the altitude really hasnt hurt my ET or my mph. B4 the tune i have ran on the same nite at 1285 ft 1st run and 478 ft last run and ran 1 hundredth quicker and same mph at 478 ft. I think the onboard computer is suppose to adjust to the outside temps, humidity and pressures.
