1/4 mile - because lets face it, that's a self respecting race

We'll check our schedule and those of our dealers and see who and whats available -

For our reference, whats your jeep build look like
2d/4dr
trans - type auto/6spd
tire size
gear ratio
hard top or soft
Cat back exhaust
Headers yes/no

Hey Ripp,
I know you don't sell a Turbo kit, never implied that you did. 1/4 mile will work for us on the Forum.

I think 1/8 would be much better.... I am more interested in low end tq, what gets you moving off the line... Not high rpm hp which Is not much good for me and many other jeep'rs...


Hard top 4 door auto saherra stock wheels and drive train all stock exhaust

So you don't really have a Jeep you have a potato chip... we'll see if we can find a stock Jeep in SOCAL with our stuff on it... but we gotta tell you, its gonna be hard to do because most of our clients are off road enthusiast.

1/4mile is the race, the time slip will show the 1/8 mile... don't know about your clients but our clients are interested in getting up to highway speeds not just 750ft... who cares about that? 0-80mph with all the off road gear and tires is the real test.

I have 35" general grabber( heavy tires) and run 5:13 and feel that I have plenty of torque and HP for the jeep. If I wanted a race car I would have gotten one. But I'm very happy with the Ripp SC and can't wait to add the headers for the extra lil kick
