I don't know about y'all, but I find my Jeep quite lacking in the acceleration department. I mean it's great in low gears at low speeds, but it is quite a chore to get up to 65-70 mph for my jeep. I found about about the RIPP Supercharger kit yesterday and I was curious if anyone on here is running any type of engine mods to their 3.8Ls besides just an air intake. I know there are a few other supercharger kits out there but who has them? Are they really worth the $4,000+? I would love an extra 75-110 HP on my jeep. If I had a bottomless wallet I'd have the Ripp kit, new headers, exhaust and all but has there been anyone do it yet and is it worth the time, effort and money?

*Had to edit cuz my fat fingers and the little keys on this dang phone.

To the upper right, there is an 'Advanced Search' button. Click it. In the keywords, type in Ripp. And next to that, open the drop-down and select title only. That will give you a few pages worth of threads to look through
