13.3 is pretty damn fast for a modded Jeep with extra weight.

I got around 9 with my stick/3.21/mods/superchip. JPop got about 9.5 with his 35s. It also depends on gas quality and elevation too.

IcyFridge,
What benefits do you get with the superchip and the 6 speed tranny? I have a 6 speed and was wondering if its worth looking onto?

1. Increased MPG (I went to 19mpg from 16.5)
2. Way better throttle response (no more "resistance" when stepping on the pedal - it gives immediate throttle response)
3. calibrated speedo for my 33s
4. Jeep pulls harder (and I only use 87 octane tune)
5. And it sounds more badass too.

Ok you guys and ya 0 to 60 times had me thinking, so I went to a figur'in - last trail run was 2 1/2 miles and we did it in 1 1/2 hours, gained elevation of approx 400 feet - so if I take 2 1/2 divide by 1 1/2, uh carry the rocks and add the dust it equals fun!

2 1/2 div by 1 1/2 = FUN

Agreed, but I'd want a RIPP supercharger for offroad performance and obviously on road as well, but being worried about a 0-60 time in a jeep IMO is useless... It's nice to pass people on the highway, but who buys a jeep to race? On my 5 hour drive back from rausch creek this past weekend (Tatas) I averaged 75-80 with no problems. I'm running 35's, 3" lift and 3.73's...

With the doors and top off, the weight savings helps a little.

I'm not saying it needs a faster 0-60 for racing. It's merely the easiest and most universal way to express how slow it is. I've already explained why it needs to be faster; don't take it out of context.

You changed it up a bit from the original post... There is a big difference in wanting to go from 0-60 opposed to a passing gear or allowing you to maintain speeds of 75 mph and higher... For about 3K less, you could re-gear to 4.88-5.13's and achieve the same thing for highway speeds....

Also, if you can afford a RIPP supercharger then by all means go for it.. I know if I had the 5K to do so, I'd be running one.... And may even test a little light to light action!
