If I still had my 2000 Dakota RT that I supercharged and built a killer 360 for I'd run him (dyno'd @ 406 rwhp w/ 16psi of boost!!!!). It would be one hell of a race. I'd have him on the top end once the tires would stop smoking!!!!

LOL I wasn't serious...very hard truck to find in the area...I NEVER see SRT8's in this part of CT...mostly in NYC and Long Island. I didn't have the $12k+ to pony up over my R/T to gain a .5 sec from 0-60. Brembos rock!

Be careful Nick...someones Jeep got broken into last night at the shop!!

I couldn't believe it!





Side note...anyone know where I can find this?


I NEED it bad! LOL

There are a couple around. Not many. I got mine from a dealer in IL. $6k below sticker. They delivered it to me too! that was a good day. It's a little more than .5 sec. it's 1.5 sec. to 60 mph Below are the numbers for the R\T copied from Chryslers AllPar website.

Dodge Magnum acceleration (2005-2008 models)
Engine hp @rpm tq @ rpm 0-60 0-100 top speed fuel
5.7 V8 340 @ 5,000 390 @ 4,000 6.4 16.3 143 17/23

I'll post the numbers for the SRT8. I am not too good with the whole copy paste thing.

I can not get the info for the jeep srt 8 from the allpar site. The info below is from a road and track test mine is an 2008 model, I don't think it matters.

My personal best 0-60 mph runs are. 4.54 secs traction control on. in auto. and 4.27 traction control reduced(by80%) and in auto stick. Times were measured using a friends escort acelarometer(i think that's what it is called). Personal top speed according to speedometer (probably unreliable) 170mph and only very briefly. Only mods are Catback and cold air intake.





2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8

Curb weight 4805 lb
Engine, transmission 6.1 liter V-8; 5-sp automatic
Horsepower, bhp @ rpm 420 @ 6200

Top speed est 155 mph
Braking, 60–0 mph 132 ft
Braking, 80–0 mph 230 ft
Brake swept area per ton 264 sq in.
Lateral accel (200-ft skidpad) 0.85g
Speed thru 700-ft slalom 63.5 mph

I have only done full exhaust, t-stat, predator, 275/20RZintake and I had a custom intake.

I have never taken it to the track and I haven't done anything nuts like a cam but the Predator for tuning is pretty sick...sooo much you can do without alot of bolt ons.

I don't talk smack about my car or anything but it is surprisingly quick and easy to work on. I did all 16 plugs in under 2 hours and it has been very reliable. Sounds great too!

Very cool. Did you get a custom tune with the predator?
