As long as the jk power on boost is not a-typical boost rush then even sweeter for crawl!

Depends if he measure at the wheels. If you're going by crank HP/TQ most of these kits will devour the Pentastar as far as power. Stock HP/TQ for the 3.6 is 180/150, dyno here:

A Ripp on it's own will pull around 220/240, without the headers. I've seen dyno of the Prodigy upwards of 350/410. Insanity, but bear in mind that's TWELVE pounds of boost on the 3.8. And that's a lot. You'd be looking at race applications only. Punching it that hard on the street under typical driving duress will destroy it - guaranteed. Here's their numbers on various pressures:

Edit: Forgot to add, what makes the Pentastar feel so good is the transmission. The WA580 is significantly better than the old four speed.

PS - my last car was a 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 running between 14.7-15 PSI from the factory. Now that's a lot of boost. Many guys on our forum were running 18PSI with a simple tune and a couple at 23 with some mods.

12 lbs of boost gives you over the 300 hp mark to the wheels way more then the 3.6, also your forgetting parasitic losses ripp did a dyno of the 3.6 and it's only 20-30 hp more then the 3.8 to the wheels if my memory serves me right. This kit is awesome for the 3.8

Can't wait for dyno numbers, You know if they made forged pistons and rods for this motor, along with head studs etc, if there was a way to build it forged along with a proper fuel system, I'd be all over this, only bad thing is the auto tranny I got...otherwsie, I'd love a turbo JK it'd be badass , Keep us updated!. and a
