Default Hemi or Supercharger on a 2012?
So has anyone done a Hemi swap or Supercharger on a 2012 Rubicon? It'll probably be 2014's bonus money but I wanna research it well first!

300 HP doesn't seem like much of a gain to the rears for that kinda money, or am I smoking something?

It would be a 50% gain at the rear wheels. Thats more than a regular hemi conversion at the wheels

If I had your money I'd do a hemi. A supercharger whistle is awesome but a JK with a V8 rumble is even better.
