Not mine just seen this video and thought how awesome this would be to build.

That's a lot of power

wiggles

I guarantee that for less money than he has into that he could have done a v8 with the same power or more

i don't know about the horsepower per dollar equation, but that kind of power in the vid would only be useful on the strip or street anyways. you can't see the rpm scale on the bottom, but it looks like the real meat is pretty far over to the right @ 4-5k rpm.

That intercooler wouldn't last long there with my driving

Or my wife's driving.

Maybe so, but there's something very cool about getting 500Hp out of the Jeep 242. It's a tough old lump and deserves some love!

austinjoe13

I may be wrong, but I believe I heard a cam lope?

is that a stock bottom end motor ? turbo ?

I feel how HP is measured has changed over the past 20 years. Take that exact same motor and put it in a time machine back to 1990 and NO WAY it has 500+ HP. And I don't mean crankshaft vs wheel HP either. It's pretty common to hear people throw around 1000+ HP which is complete BS 99% of the time.

No specs just seem the video. I would love to see it on the strip though.

I didn't mean to make a big deal about it. It's just my personal feeling being around drag racing since the 80's.

i can call 4 ppl right now that have 1000+ whp cars. dyno and trap speed / raceweight to prove it

yes dynos are tuning tools and it's easy to fudge numbers. but if that jeep makes a pass and traps 125+ there isn't much to say.
