Yeah thanks. That was the verdict; 4.56!

Hope that helps.

Ripps great btw.
What are the RPMs like in the lower gears when getting up to speed with the supercharger? I know with my current gearing (4.10), 35s, 3.6L, and a Ripp it can still wind up the RPM band pretty high. I'm looking into going up to 4.88 and eventually moving to 37s. Is it pretty overkill on the RPMs with such steep gearing and a supercharger on top?

What ever you do DO NOT get the Ripp . I had a ripp on my 3.6 and within 15k miles from brand new my jeep was experiencing issues that grew bigger. jeep was misfiring along with the supercharger leaking oil. I called ripp to get some help and they gave me the worst customer service experience ever. I live 5 mins away from their shop and I called too speak to the owner ross and see if they could possibly look over my vehicle to help me. I have been trying to reach out to them for help with issues for over 2 years, they all know who I am and where i live as i know where they live, we are practically fucking neighbors and they still refused to help me. I had less then 35k miles and my jeep had so many issues i had to ripp out the ripp and replace my block to get things working normally

Think twice before purchasing anything from those pricks

not to mention if you notice all the Bigger builds like stormtrooper and grapplerjk both removed their superchargers because it was not worth the headache. I believe both of them blew their motors aswell

Though I've not had any FI on my jeep, I've seen plenty between friends that have had RIPPs, Prodigy, and Sprintex. They're all just headaches IMO. Is it pretty cool to have the extra HP and tear ass down a road.....sure it is, but they create a lot of headaches in general. Those guys are always chasing issues.
