Running just a hypertech programmer with 93 octane, and QD2, with 245/65r17 sr-a tires.

0-60 @ 5.8 seconds.

What is everyone else running:?
 
Nice, isn't the stock time like 7 seconds?

Thinking about picking one of these up.

Does it also have the economy option?

Can you feel the difference?

Yes. 5.8 seconds 0-60. Did several runs . I'm also using all royal purple lubricants.
 
I think stock they are supposed to be around in the upper
6's. After a good break in and a few mods I can believe breakin
Into the 5's. 3.73 gears are certainly advantageous for spirited
Acceleration

It jas two tuning economy and performance. I programmed for performance and the engine screams when you goose it.

a friends hand held strip tuner/monitor, forget the make, monitors rpms, speed, and times it all. Plugs into the OBD 2 port.

Is that accurate enough?
 
Jeep claimed 6.8 seconds for the Hemi 4x4 in 2005 when they first came out.

Never timed a run myself. That said, there will be variation between people's times due to weather, gas quality (not just octane), elevation, wind speed & direction,etc.

5.8 in a non-SRT Jeep is very fast. Congrats

Generally vehicles get faster after they are broken in anyways. I was reading an old Motortrend mag(or maybe Car and Driver) at the shop and it had 0-60 times of a bunch of different vehicles when new and then after several thousand miles on them. Most if not all had considerable gains, especially the ones with V8's. I wonder if it is mostly because of the torque converter break in. Thoughts on this anyone?
 
i think most of the break in actually comes from the fit between the piston rings and cylinder wall. when new, the cylinder walls have a honed surface which is pretty good but over time your piston ring will wear into the cylinder wall to make a better fit.

Some aftermarket Tourque converters take 500-1000 miles to break in. So there are other components to break in.
