			good vids, what were the mods to the tbss and srt jeep?  for being close, stock for stock in hp, I dont get why the jeeps beat them so bad.  I have a buddy who had a slightly modded tbss, and would get eaten alive by the srt jeeps

			Hmm...
 TBSS: 395/400 - 4552 lbs
 SRT8: 420/420 - 4606 lbs
 
 The SRT8 has a tuner, exhaust, intake.  Not sure on the TBSS, though he did say he was modded and was running quicker than the other TBSS that was there.

 |  What gearing? A short first is a big deal.

			Jeep:1st 3.59
 2nd 2.19
 3rd 1.41
 4th 1.00
 5th 0.83
 
 TB:
 1st 3.06:1
 2nd 1.63:1
 3rd 1.00:1
 4th 0.70:1
 
 Those 1-2 splits more than make up for the 3.73/4.10 deal. That's what I was getting at. It is one of the reasons why swapping from an M22 4-speed to a T56 or a TH350 to a 4L60 nets a good gain in older cars.

			All the transmissions were the same on the SRT8, the WA580 NAG1.  Ratio is 3.59.  The 4L60E on the TBSS is 3.059

			Launch ratios:
 SRT: 13.39
 TBSS: 12.54
 
 2nd gear:
 
 SRT: 8.16
 TBSS: 6.68
 
 That's a big difference.
