SWEEEEEEEEET!!. How much boost and where'd ya get the coolant bottle??.

**PWR_Brad** · 06-10-2010, 02:31 PM

Its the one that comes with the kit, just modified it to make it look a little better.

I still have a thing for Whipple's. That is one sexy blower right there.

VERY NICE!
Any idea what the AIr intake temps will be with sucking in the hot air from the motor? how well does the intercooler work on that kit? and last but not least that is one sexy looking blower!

Well the owner of this Jeep had a one off Viper hood made for this. Air will be pulled directly from outside.

No rain in this cars future.

Ok well Brad K and Dave stayed at the dyno with the owner until 3am finishing the tuning on this jeep so Johnny the owner could take it to Mopar Madness on Saturday.

Hot as H3ll and the car ran best time 12.4 at 109. Track temp was up there and Johnny still learning the vehicle. Not wanting to break on the first time out. Plus a very conservative tune at 6.7lbs of boost laid down 447 at the wheels AWD.

Pics to come soon.

Anyways the thing sounds mean.

Won't make to much difference at 7psi as discharge temps of the blower will be around 140 degree's anyway. If its the new core design sent over it works really well and will lower the discharge temps quite considerably.

Got to be happy with that. Nice time too although I would of expected the mp/h to be higher!

I was expecting a little more mph too, and I think in an LX at that power level it definitely would have been. But considering the track was a big oven and he's hauling a wall on wheels down the track, it adds up I think.

That truck is a lot of fun though, drives like stock part throttle, hauls ass when the pedal goes down. Thing is going to be ridiculous when he ever does heads and cam.

Don't get my wrong for that sort of boost (and outside temps) the time is up where it should be, infact I would say better than could be expected.

Any reason why the boost is as low as it is?

The owner was very insistent on being super safe with it. He wants to get comfortable with it before pushing it harder I guess.
