Not all of us have 20gs for a engine swap.

More strenuous on the engine? Yes, since you're making it do more than it was designed for, but not more strenuous on the drivetrain as a whole, relative to the output of a hemi.

I'll be interested to see what kinds of gains they're claiming. I think that price is a lot more than I could justify spending, but then again, ditto for a hemi swap!

About 8 months ago, I had the same email it seems. But I'll continue to hold out for Avenger as it looks like it will fit with OBA, sPOD and snorkel
I asked for Dyno numbers. But what I posted is all I got from them.

I don't know what their issue is if they have been holding out for a long time. Maybe RIPP set the bar a little to high for the competition.

Avenger is about 5 miles from my house. I have stopped in a few times and the impression I got is that they are selling the kit now. There were two Jeeps getting the kit installed when I was there I even went for a ride in their demo Jeep with 37. It was awesome. Pulled very hard.

Seriously? You think that the stock axles and drivetrain will hold up better to a 375 (or more) horsepower Hemi than they will a 315 Hp supercharged V-6?Yeah, OK. Not to mentio,n a supercharger is $5K and a Hemi is $20K and up.

Edit for being a Dumb A$$

The kit might very well be avail. I would like to see Dyno numbers.

Check them out again and see what's up. Maybe they are just slacking on the web site.
