Question From a Potential JEEP Wrangler Buyer

I have The BBD, no computer, a stock manifold and a straight pipe with a Dynomax 'super turbo' muffler , no cat (not required on a CJ in Canada), an Accel 'SuperCoil' and have wicked pull to 4500 where it just stops.
No wind up for a shift, just a plain flat wall stop within about a 50 rpm band. A governor couldn't work better....
It squawked nice going into second at 45K and likely would have chirped
3rd, but I backed off. I will try it again when I have room just to see where 3rd pulls out. I already know 4th will wrap the spedo.Mike

Well....I was half correct! I can get 4500 in the lower gears easy but in 4th all I can muster is around 3500. Sorry for the goof I got a lil key happy. My computer is disabled and i've got a nice ignition system to boot.

88YJHey Bill
I went to that website and even @ 3k you would need 223....now we can all pull that. I'd bet money we are all reading RPM's on stock tach's. Lord knows I am...which makes me look a lil stupid:) I've never had stock tach that was even close.

The ones that run the Ontario/Quebec corridor usually hold 70+ mph. There are a few that just fly though.
The dude we were drafting was running empty or real light with an enclosed trailer.

Nah, that's "Hey ya'll...hold my beer and watch this s*it..."
