1,000 HP Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 Mixes Stroked 392, Procharger and Nitrous

SRT's take on the Jeep Grand Cherokee is the kind of vehicle that can easily make you confused. At first, it seems like you're getting into an SUV, but once the Hemi wakes up, you feel you're in a muscle car. And once you hit the bends, you'll forget the SUV idea altogether.

Nevertheless, some people find the kind of melange the factory vehicle offers as insufficient. Today, we want to show you a Grand Cherokee SRT8 whose owner makes the previous idea seem like an understatement.

The guy didn't stop commissioning various tuning bits for his SRT8 Jeep until he ended up with an output that's more than double when compared to the stock numbers.

We're dealing with a 1,000 hp Grand Cherokee SRT8, one that can be described as using all the major power adders out there. For starters, we're talking about a 392 Hemi with a stroker kit. As for the forced induction, this Jeep mixes supercharging and turbocharging by turning to a Procharger (an F1A), which is kind of like a belt-driven turbo.

As if the engine compartment elements mentioned above weren't enough, a 100 shot of nitrous came as some sort of icing for this high-octane cake. Such a beefed-up engine requires a gearbox that can take all the abuse it delivers, so the Hemo under the hood of this Jeep now works with an SHR War Wiking tranny.

As you can imagine, when you own such a behemoth, offroading competitions aren't exactly your motorsport form of choice. Instead, this is the kind of Jeep you'll see humiliating considerably lighter machines at the drag strip.

In fact, the video bellow allows us to check out the 1,000-pony Grand Cherokee SRT8 pursuing its current goal, namely a nine-second quarter mile run. The aural side of the shenanigan is on the house.
