Default Hescoe Supercharger any info

I am interested in increasing the power of my rig, i am not expecting nor looking for 370-400 hp V-8. I would like to have more poweer when driving long trips on the highway & climbing grades or fighting the wind. Wondering about some feedback from somebody who has this setup.

The RIPP supercharger delivers 100HP to the ground, if you have a 6speed you get a bit more. Its designed for every day use not only off-road applications. The kit installs in a few hours (6-7 hours) makes 8lbs of boost. We have logged a 6mpg increase, but most of our customers see 3-4 mpg increase. You will start making boost at 2500 rpm's great for rock climbing steep hill climbs or mud.

The RIPP supercharger is a great all-around kit. We drove it 2,800 miles to MOAB, messed around off-road, big climbs all types of crazyness, turned around and drove it another 2,800 miles home a week later.

Can you use the stock air box with the RIPP SC? I understand you will get less flow, which means less boost. I ask because I really dont like how those CA things work in wet conditions. Also, I would be happy with another 50-60 horses.

Your stock air box will be eliminated, and the battery will take its place.
If your are concerned about "wet conditions" Our kit will easily adapt to the river raider snorkel. Equipped with the snorkel water is no problem at all
Just bolting on the the RIPP supercharger will deliver 95-100hp, the power loss will be minimal when using the snorkel but it will make you one step closer to being impervious to water.

5 grand for 100 hp is pretty steep. other than the price the ripp mods supercharger sounds fantastic.
