Question Respectable RTI Ramp score for JKU and 2dr?

This past weekend I was at a jeep event where one of the local clubs brought out their RTI Ramp and I got to test the flex on our new LCA coil over set up. Being that it was the first time I ramped it there's no baseline for me...also I had 28psi in the tires which I know doesn't help. Well the 2drs whether they be TJ or JK did pretty well and the best I could manage was a 113 which looks like it's less than 1000 score when you calculate with the wheel base.

So my question is what's a respectable score and other than tire pressure what are things to consider or do when looking to get the furthest up the ramp?

I am willing to bet that you scored better than 113. That means that you only went up the ramp 10% of you vehicles wheelbase?!?! Stockers with sway bars connected will get higher than that. You must have made an error.
What is the wheelbase of you rig??
How far did you travel up the ramp??

Yeah the 113 was the distance I traveled and not the score.

Sweet! That's perfect thanks! So using the calculator I actually did pretty good...
965.52 Some of the members of the club that had the ramp was trying to down grade the number but one of the mechanics whose also in their club said it was solid!
