BRICKS IN THE WIND : A Drag Race of Jeep JK Wranglers

That's crazy! I just switched to 37s and have a 6spd 3.6 with 4.10s and I have no power! Maybe if it was flat and there was no wind. I could barely get it up to 70 on our Memorial day drive to the lake. :crazyeyes:
Our elevation here is somewhere around 400 ft. I wonder if that makes a difference. :idontknow:
That was a great race though! Go Crush!

Throttle is on the right and keep it in the power band... The lower elevation should help. We were a little higher than that.

That's weird. I drove across the country at 80+ mph following Moby with 37s, 4.10s and an auto. In fact, if I didn't live at elevation I doubt I would have even regeared.

What he said. Also, you need to keep in mind that the HEMI was running much larger tires and is a much heavier vehicle. Of course, this is to say nothing about programming and throttle management holding it back. Not really an even challenge. Also, the 5.7 HEMI only has about 60 more HP than a 3.6L Pentastar. Back when all we had were crappy 3.8L's that put out a wimpy 205 HP, this was significant and really, the best you could do. I should note that a HEMI will still have way more torque than a 3.6L.

This is the big key, and why EVO1 is wired direct with no computers cutting the power down.
Yup, exactly...

We were talking last night about this and I think I would beat you all. It would be close with me and you though. Next time.

With a two door even with 3.21's it would be close but I bet you win
