280hp @4400
360ft lbs @3600
0-60 in 5.3 seconds
1/4 mile 14.1 @95mph
Like I said earlier: "FWIW: Motor Trend stated that the 1998 Grand Cherokee 5.9L was the fastest PRODUCTION SUV in 1998. They said the Cyclone/Typhone's were fastest PRODUCTION SUV/Trucks when they were built." So Motor Trend was referring to them as different categories I guess? I dunno, I'm just going off their quote lol.

Thanks man!

The projectors, shrouds and HID kit (Ballasts, bulbs, relay harness, etc.) are $300 retail shipped. The housings are $65 shipped. It took me 4 hours of work from start to finish, but I've done several prior retros which definitely makes things far, far easier.

If I had the room I'd definitely make you a set. I'll let ya know if I get around to it.
