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.

Well he cant contest what i said about Dynos, usable RPMs or centrifugal vs positive displacement blowers... but he is a $upporting vendor.

I guess he trolls around and denounces anything but rhetoric that supports peak numbers on a " non smoothed " i.e. "corrected" dyno run.

Having owned every form of forced induction (and NO2) offered on the market, and tuned on several engine dynos (Buicks, 5.0's & 7.3L International/Ford Deisel) and various chassis dynos (BMW 6's, DSM 6's & 4's, Subi flats and 2&4 valve Fords) I feel i can answer honestly any question I choose to.

This WAS about Sprintex... I wish our "moderators" held their $upporing vendors to the same rules as the "consumers" that this forum is plainly targeting.

RIPP gets their panties in a bunch when other blowers are mentioned.
Kinda like when a fluffer gets replaced by someone who gets a porn star up quicker.

Do you have a Sprintex S/C?
I want to hear from actual Sprintex owners.

Man I am happy to see a twin screw for the JK. I love the usable power they make. Great build man, keep us updated.

I have had a Sprintex for a couple of months and I am delighted with it. You can see some of my previous posts in this thread.

The drivability is excellent. The immediate throttle response is nothing less than surprising. It has really transformed my Jeep.

I have not towed with it yet, but am certain that will be a lot more fun as well. If fact I am thinking of a new trailer (or adding a RTT) now that I have enough power to make it practical.

I am no FI engineer, but did plenty of research before buying this. No regrets, only grins.

BTW, Sprintex has been around for a while- 30 years or so; this is just their first kit for the JK.

Sprintex - YouTube

I am now considering the installation of a Sprintex on a Mini Cooper S. There is something addictive about SC's!

Feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions.

I would really like to hear more about the Sprintex Supercharger. This seems to be exactly what I am looking for in regards to my 2006 LJ.

Just do some research on "twin screw" SC's...then decide if you want those qualities in your LJ.
