Hey all. Found this forum on Tapatalk and had to join. I had an 86 LeBaron GTS. Loved that car. Started my love for turbos. Here's a few pics of my new baby. It's a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8. Built engine, Precision Turbo ProMod 94mm turbo, little shot of giggle gas. Runs 8.90's at 159mph. Looking for 8.30's come Sept. After the next round of mods. Enjoy the pics.
Wow. Very nice

turbojeep welcome to the club !!! what are you using for ecm??
That makes me happy!!
What drivetrain mods have you had to do? Welcome to the site!
I'll throw some videos up in a few days when I'm allowed to post a link. As far as tuning.... we run the stock PCM reprogrammed with Diablosport CMR software. We run a reprogrammed TCM as well.
Drive train mods..... oh man what a nightmare. We run an upgraded version of the stock Nag1 transmission. The thing can't handle power for squat. The converter lockup is electronically controlled and it's the biggest pain in the ---. It is a lockup style converter which freaks out when it sees the power we are throwing at it. It tries to save the tyranny by not locking it and I usually make a pass at 6000rpms. the whole way. My 8.90 passes the Converter slips 33% at the worst and crosses the line slipping 11%.
I am now in the process of ripping the Nag1 out and doing a T400 with an SCS Gearbox transfer case. Done screwing around. Looking for 8.30's come Sept. Tranny is being built as we speak by Proformance Transmissions. Can't wait to finally put all the power to the tires and the ground. Should be sick.
You can search on YouTube for 8 second Jeep and find my videos. My channel is named HZauke.
love the exhaust outlets
Welcome to the forum! I always liked (and still do) the SRT 8 Jeeps.
Incredible!!

That is one sick jeep, what engine mods are done and how much boost are you running?
It's a full built 6.1L. Stuck with stock displacement for the added cylinder wall thickness. Has aftermarket Thitek heads on it with slightly larger valves. Custom ground reverse duration cam. 9.5:1 compression. Moroso vacuum pump. Meziere electric water pump. I run any where from 25 to 28psi depending on who I have to race. Lol. It makes 33rwhp per pound of boost.
Here's a few others we've built as well. These are TT's, 76mm which is our normal builds we do, and a few upgraded 88mm's.
Wow, so you built that? Very impressive.
Here is a video of your ride if I did my searching correctly.
Yeah that's my video and Jeep. That was at Atco last year for the season finale. We run in the Modern Street Hemi Shootout series.
When did you own the Lebaron? Were you in Jax around that time? Only reason I ask is because I used to live in Jax and I remember when Stage 6 was on Argyle Forest. I was just wondering if we know each other. Your name sounds familiar.
