JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

I live on the gulf coast so I'm flat as it gets and I never go above 65 and I only go 65 when I'm on i-10 which if any of y'all have traveled i-10 y'all know how flat it is. I prefer to hit the back roads tho so my average speed is 50 at 1900 or so rpms

They flip the valve covers around so the engine oil fill is on the driver's side. It is a bit less convenient to get to, but NBD. I just use a funnel and it is easy enough.

With all respect to the OP, and the fine manufacturer, this is not the place for us to push our product. There is plenty of information, and videos regarding our products elsewhere on this forum as well as on the web.

Everyone is entitled to there own opinions, as well as preferences. Transparency has been a cornerstone of our marketing and business ethics. But don't post the wrong information. We designed our system to benefit your vehicle throughout your power band.

Not sure why you are asking ME not to post wrong information... I simply stated a few facts-that you obviously agree with: "Dynos Lie", and "WHERE you make boost is important". If you feel my information is wrong, by all means post a dyno sheet with correction factors and time line from WOT to full, advertised boost. However, if I see a dyno sheet that is NOT corrected or standardized, Im gonna wonder WTF you have a dyno for.

I am glad you agree with me that positive displacement SC's do in fact make boost sooner. Great to know you have not yet shattered the various laws of physics!

Not sure why you singled out my broad statements about time-to-boost, RPM range, and dynamometers.

My interest is just to make sure that the statements made regarding our compared product are accurate. I am not here to state one is better than the other. This thread is about the Sprintex supercharger, not ours. We wish nothing but the best experience to the OP with their new addition.
Everyone has different wants and needs in regards to what makes their jeep, "their jeep".

Any new news from the Sprintex owners? Mpg, day to day driveability, towing performance?

I want one of these bad.

Thanks!
