112ish. Figure topping out anywhere from 110-115. Mine gets squirrely around 90 or so, but it's been windy lately and 3.5" of lift.. Lol

I'd be surprised if it can get up there. Maybe going downhill. :ROTFL:

I've done it stock. I can't see the larger tires stopping me.

Impressive. That means I would have no problem doing it then. :wink:

The way modern cars are set up, it'd be pretty pathetic not to break 100mph lol. Honestly you don't need much highway to do it. Our trucks are pretty powerful, it's the weight that makes us "slow".

I think Digger(?) says limited to about 112. Not that it can't but that it's limited to 112.

Not condoning anyone to break the laws here by the way. :goink:

My neck of the woods there are way too many spots that cops chill, hence another reason I stick to the speed limits. It's a little safer on the parkway to top her out. :twisted:

Our parkways are worse. State troopers and they're very curvy. Not safe to try and top out a truck on them, yet I'll still run 80 all day as long as traffic flows with it.

A few of our highways are good for it especially in the dead of night(I think babylon has 1 patrol car after 2am, that's how dead lol), or out by our ocean beaches. Only problem with the beaches is they use aircraft to catch you, and sometimes a cop is out there. Normally you're safe until summer.

We really need a race track back on the Island. Honestly I would run the KK once at a 1/4 lmao

There's a track less than an hour from me some of my car friends go to. What would our Libby's run? Less than 18?

I don't have the slightest clue lmao. Maybe one of the KJ performance guys ran a 1/4 mile. We used to have Riverhead raceway, but that's shut down I think. If anything they might do the 1/8, but I don't see a point in that.

According to this, we are sub 18 lmao, also I thought our 0-60 was slightly better...

Wow! That made me laugh reading those results. Ya know, there is a section on my ScanGauge2 for 0-60 and 1/4 miles times. :twisted:

Received the letter for 5 years transmission inspection. Do I have to revert back to Stock mode from Hypertech Max ?

You're welcome.
Hypertech says it should ALWAYS be returned to stock when going to the dealer.

The real question is if the programmer left behind a foot print that Chrysler can pull on their machine and see that the programming has been modified. This is the only reason I haven't tried a programmer yet. I don't want to loose my lifetime powertrain warranty.

been busy lately and havent had time to check back in. I will say it has definitely improved the overall performance. Acceleration is better, I can merger more safely into traffic. Mileage might have went up a tad but then back down when i added my safari rack. Over all I'm happy with it but I probably wouldnt get one again. The guy that had the holy s*** moment must have been 95!....

I just ordered on of these - Autozone has them @ $329, but if you order online with the code APRIL20 you'll get 20% off which takes it down to $263. Free shipping too, but I did get charged tax.

That's a steal! I'll look out next time Autozone puts a code up. They do stuff like that all the time. Thanks for the heads up

Got my tuner in and installed it today. Had to plug it into my computer to update it first, then into the Jeep. Install was super simple.

After driving it a bit and doing a few runs to redline, you can tell it definitely made a difference. No, it doesn't make it feel like it added two cylinders or a turbo to the engine. What it dies more than anything is smooth out the power delivery, and make it seem like it wants to rev more. If you look at the dyno chart on the Hypertech site, everything feels pretty true to form.
