Let us know what you think of that setup.
For me, the numbers just don't add up. $1600 for the headers, $2200 with the trinity, and if I heard him right in the video, the gain was 10HP down in the rpm range most of us would be in. I didn't catch the TQ gain, was it 15-20? For $300 more, you could take a chance on a sprintex. (But I think I would just save more for the ripp sc over the sprintex)

What is the word on installing a SC? Will it kill my engine sooner than it should? I am firm on maintenance on my vehicles, so just asking about the SC making me buy a new Jeep earlier than I should......

I would imagine that a supercharger would accelerate the wear, but from reading through a few of the long s/c threads, Ripp keeps the boost relatively low specifically so it isn't a problem. There are plenty of threads on the various superchargers to read through for more info. Or just send a PM to Ripp.
