Straight Outta Kerbin challenge

[herbal space program]

The  idea is to see how much you can cheat the standard dV map using only Kerbin and Mun as gravity-assisting bodies. Here is my entry, requiring a total of 1297m/s to get from LKO to Jool: http://imgur.com/gallery/XQSnn/new.

It was based on hopping up to a 3:4, followed by a 1:2 solar orbit, using retrograde apoapsis DSMs to create angled orbits. Can you get there for less, using only the Kerbin system? Can you go to a different body with a better ratio of actual dV to nominal dV? Based on the Olex.biz calculator, the linked tour has an actual/nominal ratio of 0.68. Beat that for any other body and you win! You should start from close  to a circular 100km LKO. I will make a leaderboard as soon as anybody submits an entry...

I saw the title and was so excited but this is to much thinking for me
