S/C Jeep SRT8 > Jimshorts stock E55
Went to NED with Skratch yesterday, real nice guy and awesome beast, ran into some SRT8s while we were there one of which was supercharged. I believe he ended up running a 11.33. We all did one run and got out of there. I happened to run into the Jeep on a highway in Mexico and had a little fun. That thing could move!

Good gawd, what speeds did you stop the pull at? Your girl runs strong but centrifugal blowers are super stout on the top end. From is where our cars shine with all that TQ.

Trust me it would of been bad for him if I ran him.I pulled like 6 cars on my brothers stock e55 from 40-120
He trapped 96 in the 1/8 with a 1.6 60ft and I trapped 95 with a 2.4 60ft
I can't explain how hard it is to make up speed if you get a crappy 60ft but trust me when I hooked I was coming hard mid track

Nice race man and nice meeting you all .. I had a little issue of my own on that run , and honestly ain't worth explaining as a race is race and you bring what you got , also I was racing a pretty strong E55K .
Here's my slip of that Day CAR 908 , Track Screwed me pretty bad as i was there from 9AM and got to make a pass at 3PM , DR's was cold and besides the spinning , when that happens we short shift into the next gear immediately , so basically is like leaving the line in 2nd gear . believe me or not 1.68 60' is extremely weak at my level of power .. I was looking for a 1.50-1.55 60' . and high 10 sec slip .. (Note I don't have a Roll cage so i only had one try to go for it) and I have already went 11.28@119.71 only making 6psi of boost and on street tires and 91 degree weather , I am now on 8psi ..
Let's give it a shot when i take care of a few things , we can meet up in Mexico 
on a Sunday morning or something ...

yeah but just a reference on traps,we took 4 bone stock e55s there and it was 55-60 out and we were all trapping 111-112 @ 12.3-12.5
ned has very low trap speeds for some reason.
every kid I talk to there mentions his traps are low lol.
the op just ran his car at another track and was trapping 115-116 and only did 111 the other day at ned.
My fastest trap there was 122 on race gas and ran an 11.3 with almost 99mph in the 1/8th.
we just learned to live with it and know the track sucks,dima just trapped 112 with a 168 pulley and tune.and he should be at 117-119 the way his car pulls.
Iv seen a car break into the 10s with a 119 trap lol,it just dosnt make sense.Its like the exact oposite of sac

i don't see those traps as being too far off depending on 60ft times. well, i don't think they're too far off normal but if you're comparing to sac a couple of years ago then maybe...
for comparison, my 11.2 run at famoso 2yrs ago only posted a 123mph trap and nobody thought that was low...
