I know I am. I'll be first in line. The pentastar has plenty of power, but who's going to say no to more?

Do let us know how it is when you get it.
Is the release date public?

Your open to oil leaks with any supercharged engine. I wouldn't touch it.

Your open to oil leaks with any Chrysler engine Make sure to get a quality baffled oil catch can to reduce the blowby oil/water/gas mix. As an owner of an after market supercharger on an engine that was not boosted stock, just understand that you will run into problems down the road and make sure you have the ability and understanding how to fix them. It will never be as reliable as stock. As long as you are OK with that then have fun

I'm not touching forced induction with the new motor. Especially with my Automatic.

In my view there is no power issue to begin with, but nothing I could not correct with just gearing.

In this video you'll see the worlds first RIPP Supercharged 3.6l Pentastar Powered Jeep Wrangler JK. We took it to the 46th annual Easter Jeep Safari in Moab Utah and climbed it through the trails at altitude. It performed flawlessly...

Ripp, do you sell/suggest a certain catch can with your kits or is blowby not as big of an issue on these engines? I know on my 2zz-ge I get quite a bit filled between oil changes.

We've had no issues with blow-by. But it doesn't hurt to install one...

I have the RIPP system on my to-do list and not overly concerned about the motor. But, I need to know what to expect in the way of maintenance and solutions to problems with the forced induction. I'm sure there more to it than just plug and play.

The videos are great, and I've reviewed several from the RIPP and YouTube sites. RIPP has a great reputation and though my decision to use that system on my rig is not certain yet, I haven't read any complaints regarding oil.
