It was a hot one out there today but that has been the theme this week. I will be honest, did not really know about the SRT8 Grand Cherokee. Pretty sweet looking and some nice power but that is one expensive Jeep.

Hmm I guess I just haven't payed that close attention to the Jeep brand over the years.

There's a few TT 426 builds out there, and definitely nasty. I'm happy with my forged 6.1 and single 76mm turbo in my 06'....makes 966hp on race gas tune at 18# of boost...

Just curious, i know alot of people like to supercharge them, why did u turbo, i know the differences between what they do power output wise, but just wondering, do u have a long spool time?

Psi to hp ratio. There's no comparison, turbo hands down. Plus less stress on the crank. And the wife said go ahead and do the turbo....lol. The thing comes on like a light switch, no lag...

I was under the impression that with a super charger you maintain more power through the hp curve than with a turbo.

Yes its got amazing racing beat suspension, its insane around turns, also another cool thing about it is its a mazdaspeed protege, only 2750 were ever made in the world so its really rare and gets better mpg then the xj, for now hahaha
