My LS2 wrangler against a mustang 5.0. We both red lighted after rolling back slightly, and he took off WAY before me but I still ended up beating him to the end of the track.

what's your 0-60? haha

[curlee187]

@SteefVG My best drag time for the 1/4 was 15.6sec. I cant remember my 0-60 times. Im guuessing something like 5-6 seconds. I could be horribly wrong though.

@curlee187 That is still insane for a jeep! I wonder if you upped the power to 500-600hp i am sure you could push high 4s and maybe 13-14 seconds haha. A drag jeep thats epic! I am getting a 1975 CJ with a short BUILT 327 that should be interesting.

@SteefVG It is not a drag jeep by any means. Lifted a total of 9 inches, on 37 inch super swampers is anything but ideal for track conditions. I only ran it because I wanted to see what it could do. I have since stroked the motor to 402 cubic inches, and put a ZO6 cam shaft in it. I havnt raced it since then, but imagine it would be faster. I built it to go off road and thats about it . Its fast, but i didnt build it to race. A lot of people get the wrong impression though.

El paso!

[halosux4life]

the reason for swapping in LS engines is for fuel economy, my 4L gets 5MPG

[imserious2187]

did the jeep catch him?

[viperz888]

you need a better driver...

@curlee187 it is still amazing though :) i got a chevy 327 small block in mine and don't really know how much hp i am making :/ i assume is losses a lot before any hp goes tot he actual wheels
