Looks nice, and I'm sure it's gonna produce some nice numbers for us '12 owners!

I was at SEMA and saw the kit first hand... SUPER NICE!!! I also talked to the guys in the booth... They were very reluctant to give out any numbers but I was able to squeeze a little info from the guys. The kit will yield more than 300+WHP and 300+WTQ for sure (he said he guaranteed it)! They are working on fuel economy tuning and their goal is to increase the mpg from the factory. They did tell me the 3.6L was leaps and bounds better than the 3.8L and that will show in overall performance and final numbers. Price for the kit is going to be slightly more than the 3.8L kits due to new engine management units that are a must now. The kit is very clean and I am HIGHLY IMPRESSED!

Diablo has broke the code now. They are supposed to be releasing the tuner for the 3.6l motors very shortly which means that the Engine Control Unit won't need to be replaced. I wonder if they will sell the kit without the computer?

We will discount the kit if you already have the diablosport.

Default New to ripp Supercharger

Iv seen a lot of good things about the older jeeps with this mod, How hard is it to install this mod? Do I need to bring it to a shop to be tuned? Can anyone give me some advice on this item, im looking for more power, not so happy about spending $6,000 but im super interested in this product!!
Thanks,
-Brian

Why would anyone put a centrifugal supercharger on a Jeep? I have had centris, roots, and twin screws in my cars and the centri seems like a bad match for the application. The pentastar revs high enough to make good boost, but it will be on the top half off the tach.

Coming out of an 833 rwhp Corvette with a Maggie TVS 2300 blower, I would only put that on my Jeep. I have heard nothing but good things about Ripp, but personally speaking, my jeep never sees 4k RPM in 99% of my driving. I want max power right off Idle. The only blowers that do that are Kenne Bell, Magnusson, Whipple Etc. As soon as one of them come out for the Pentastar with tuning, I will buy. My corvette had 741 RWTQ and 2400 RPMS. You breathed on the loud pedal and my Nittos were up in smoke. I have never driven a Jeep with a Centri, but my guess is just like every other internal combustion engine out there, you have to spin it up to feel the power. I would love to see a graph on the Pentastar at low RPM's with the Ripp Vs Stock.
