I was referring to my earlier post of installing a Hemi and then bolting on a SC.

Its hard to replace the low end torque of a newer V8. A supercharger on a jk is a completely different animal than a Hemi or a LS motor. They all have a purpose and help immensly. I can speak for an LS motor I had in my prior YJ. It was alot of fun and the gas mleage was way better than the stock motor. Playing in the sand in 4hi the Jeep was amazing. Never bogged down and was very quick. If you go wih a V8 its hard to beat the Chevy LS motors. Lighter than Hemis, more horsepower when comparing stock for stock and definitely better gas mileage. Plus if you mate the LS with a 6L80E transmission you will have a great package. If you get it professionally installed and from the posts i've been reading you can get the LS package installed cheaper than the Hemi package. Dont get me wrong, its still alot of coin..

We have designed our system to produce significant power gains throughout the entire RPM band, not in just one spot. Expect to see gains whether crawling through Pritchett Canyon trail in Moab, or Doing 75 MPH () with traffic on 37's on I80, without having to downshift.
