Jeep SRT8 Turbo Goes 12.5 @ 110

**John Hennessey** · August 12th, 2006, 09:39 AM

Details:

2006 Jeep with Hennessey SRT600 making 5-6 psi boost. Stock motor, heads, etc. I would guess that the power at this level is about 480-500 rwhp.

Drove the Jeep to and from the track 115 miles round trip. Got 16.6 mpg cruising 80-90 mph. The best I ever got when the Jeep was stock was around 14.5.

It was hot at 95 deg. and humidity at over 80%.

First pass - blew an intercooler hose loose on the launch and didnt have any boost for that run.

Was able to re-secure the hose and make another pass. This was the 12.5 @ 110 mph run. The launch was not all that strong and the 60 ft. was about what I had gotten stock. So I think there is some room for improvement over the 12.5 but I am happy with that for the first time out.

Here is the time slip:

That Jeep is sweet and all, but didnt you know you dont have to post slips or videos anymore when you run a good number?

Is this the same one you had on ebay a few days back?

John, did you ever decide on whether you're going to offer that setup as a DIY? I saw the video of the silver car on ebay a week or two ago and it looked like that thing really moved out of the hole. BTW I think the ad said that car ran a 12.1, but I'm assuming that was by the Driftbox and probably in better conditions (and it may have had more boost as well).

Yes, we plan to offer a mail order kit later this year. Have not finalized a price.

Yes, 12.1 ET is density altitude corrected.

That sounds great. Make sure and post something when it becomes available.

I'm waiting to see an 11 sec pass from John with an SRT Jeep. I have a feeling I won't be waiting long.

Wow - could you imagine some guy in a 430 or gallardo pulling up next to a jeep and running it to about 100mph and that frickin suv keeping up? The ferrari or lambo owner would be like wtf? It would be a kodak moment!
