One other thing... maybe get a baseline run. You might appreciate your modifications much more if you could see the difference.
Post up some slips I am curious what a stock V8 ZJ runs in the 1/4

i approve, build it and have fun. why be normal?
btw, the stock 44re or 46rh tranny behind the v8 is plenty strong enough. it will take a lot more torque than you can get with the 5.2 to blow that up.
a jeep is a jeep, no matter how it sits on the road.
where is the respect, people?

Theres quite a few fast 4wd and AWD Jeeps out there nowadays.. check the link i posted earlier.
This is always a good link when narrowmindedness says a Jeep cant be a racecar.

Yeah but he wants to convert it to 2wd. Which I don't really understand how dropping 100, maybe 200 lbs is going to beat out that much grip.

I see trucks and SUVs drag race all the time. If trucks aren't meant to race then there wouldn't be any drag racing... be nice

Can't you get a later model transfercase that has a slip coupler in it that is made to be in 4wd all the time like a 249. Then you could beef everything else up axle wise and do some 4 wheel burnouts.

he already has a 249.
and here, volunteer firefighters have green flashing lights on their vehicles. i'm impressed you want to become a volunteer firefighter, good on ya! but are you gonna use this race build for a fire rescue vehicle? that'd be cool, but you do know, they're not allowed to speed...

There= over there, get there.
They're= They are. They're coming over
Their= Belongs to. That is their Jeep.
