no. All my upgrades serve a purpose. Nothing done to the motor or exhaust yet. I live in Colorado. I mildly, rock crawl trails nearly every weekend. I say mild as there are rails I'm not willing to kill my DD on. Why is it my dd? Because it serves more purpose than a motorcycle and SXS's aren't street legal in Colorado, yet. I don't drop a bunch of crap on any motorized vehicle I own unless it serves a purpose. The motor will either wait until there is something solidly reliable and significant in gains or it won't get anything until the 3.6 goes out and I drop an SRT in it. Now, the cai or exhaust doesn't even come close to an Sc or Hemi swap. I have a lift for ground clearance I have 35's for easier roll on obstacles and add ground clearance Bumper for winch (yes it gets used) and added ground clearance for approach/departure angles A lock pick with multiple cams, for viewing reverse and crawling Side steps on all 4 doors my wife and daughter use every time we drive the jeep as the Volvo sits at home All the rubicon goodies as I use the lockers, crawl ratio and wanted the beefier axles, for crawling in Colorado, Moab and the likes Custom made license plate holder, as I didn't want to rip off my factory mount. Independent reverse light on its own power Voltmeter so I can see batt level Additional power pack, so I can jump my own rig should I kill the battery Smittybilt cargo carrier for first aid, tools, tow straps, clevis, etc. Winch kit Coming up? Skids for obvious reasons Additional lights, for obvious reasons Cb, again, for obvious reasons Dual battery set up Teraflex hinge Gerry can mount Get the picture? Purpose built. I'm a minimalist and don't like "shitting up" any machine I own. I won't upgrade the motor unless it's worth it. I dropped $5k in a Volvo S60, dyno tested and went from 247 hp & 249 ft lbs to a little over 400 hp and 425ft lbs. dropped a magna charger on my Buell, removed the if, put in a edelbrock carb, ported, polished, bored out and straight exhaust to get nearly 50% more than stock. To me, if it is less than 15-20% increase! it's a waste of money. My opinion. Back to my original statement, get a dyno, prove it. I'll send a check. I want to see the video of your rig with just the cai and exhaust and net greater than 10 rwhp. No tuner, as you stated.

I just saw you were in Phoenix. Great! I frequent Phx. I would like to see the dyno in person.

I can definitely see how a snorkel can impact a super charger since its about stuffing as much air as possible down the intake manifold.

Without the super charger, there has been plenty of arguments around the benefits of cold air vs the long tube the air has to run down when talking about snorkels. I know this much, with my snorkel, I did not notice any performance degradation on my already puny 3.8L. I did notice a bump up in mpg. There is a thread here were folks posted their mpg with their snorkels. I will try and find it
