then... why do you still offer a "stage 1" kit?

i've been looking into the superchargers for a long time due to major lack of funds... and if this is the same guy that was at Jeep Beach '10, I spoke to you about the systems and checked your rig out.

if its a "no-no", then why even offer it?

Wow trump card haha.

I have to agree with the guy who mentioned that RIPP customer service wasn't everything people said it was. Maybe you have to buy something from them to get them to treat you well, but my experience was waiting days for a short worded email that didn't answer my questions.

Since then, I've dealt with Rob over at Road Race Motorsports and he has taken a personal interest in my JK even before I spent a dime. So my money will be in for the Sprintex instead of RIPP.

He's a recent college grad getting ready to go to law school. Simple decision of what he could afford. SC = $4K Hemi = $20K.

very good question..... but i have heard so much good about Hypertech, and never a thing bad.... and I was told they will be the goto for tech support... so, that being said, I would think that they would...
