Looking for suggestions on go-fast mods

Not a TJ, but fast. "Jeepenstien is a 6.6-liter V8 engine that’s been turbocharged to the max. The result is a whopping “thirteen forty-five at the wheel”.

Slow. He doesn't even have a good spacer on that intake. It'd probably hook better with some control arms from rusty's. :LOL:

Seriously though, I don't want to go that fast in something like a Jeep with that short wheelbase. No thanks.

There's a long history of hot-rod jeeps. Obviously the demands of going fast conflicts with rock crawling so trying to do both will require compromises.

If you think the TJ is too small take a look a this Willys!

Man, what good is that helmet going to do if you go over...
 
No seat belts. It's basically a 4-wheel motorcycle. With no windshield you need a helmet or goggles just to see.
Something makes me think safety isn't their top concern. Imma go with street racing @180mph as the main clue.
 
Is that the turbo versions of the Go-Devil? :cool:

Keeps their faces looking good for an open casket funeral.

IDK if you have ever experienced the wind force at 160+ mph, but a seat belt was probably the only thing holding them in. Besides, how else would they expect their bodies to be found after hitting a dip? 😬


Don't get me wrong, I love speed and power, but there are just some things you have to have, like an actual cage on that Jeep. BTW, I'm pretty sure that flattie now has a cage because they started running on the tracks.
 
Looks like he got a throttle body spacer and K&N CAI installed...

I think most guys want more hp in their jeep because it’s their DD and they want to keep up with other highway traffic. IMO more hp is only needed in the mud and the sand where you want wheel spin. On technical trails you need torque, gears, driving skills and a good spotter.
I have a good friend with a 44 Willys bone stock and he goes every place we do.
