Question From a Potential JEEP Wrangler Buyer

Aug 25, 2003 29 Replies

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.

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.

Hey 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.

My tach (stock) reads the same as my hand tach and the tach on my timing light.

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.

I believe that is "Hey y'all watch this..."

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