C63-tuned vs 440 stroker motor jeep srt-8

My stock gearing is 3.73. I was running 25.5 inch MT ET street dragradials with 20lbs of air. That tire height gave me the 4.20 gear ratio. I ran John to 146 (performance box read) and had to brake due to a car infront. I would have topped out at 152 with that setup.
Sunday will be with my stock height tires and we will go to 160 and whoever is in front wins period. No gap closing or whatever.
The rear wheel improved my 60' times!!

My SL600 can literally be driven with two fingers at that speed, but your truck looked pretty darn composed at high speed, in that video.

Holy Cow, John got me on the top end. Sorry no one showed up to video and we were both shifting.
I was ahead until around 140, I let off with John ahead by a car at 153. Hats off that thing is really moving.
We only did one run today. Once the air grabbed the Jeep it was to muchto stay ahead.

I thought you guys were gonna race from a dig, for a 1/4 mile or so. You know, like a real drag race. You're not gonna win any top speed races with that brick.

No surprises there. He should've come around you by that time, as I stated in a previous post. Kudos for a having a super quick jeep.
