Thanks!
No problem, I've got a pretty heavy jeep. I'm pushing 37x13.5 toyos with 5.38 gears

That is a nice ride. Sweet, I have the RIPP n love it, but it is all the same, our heavy arse jeeps need more power, so hopefully this gives the extra zing you need!

I would - too bad my Jeep is in pieces. I did get a chance to drive Vince's Jeep today with the Sprintex in it. I'm very impressed. No, it's not a Hemi, but for $4k, it was definitely worth the money. Acceleration off the line is greatly improved - I even got the tires to chirp a bit. It was a lot more fun to drive.

These numbers should now be higher now as Sprintex just sent me a smaller pulley, which we installed yesterday, and a new map, which we downloaded today.

I just picked up my jeep tonight and all I can say is that it feels awesome. The power kicks in right from idle. No engine codes, and no problems. Give me a couple days with it and I'll put together a review.
Smaller pulley means more boost, more boost means more heat... and that's still not intercooled. Whats the boost level now and whats the power now?
