i currently have a 4 door sahara auto with 3.73 gears and 35,s I usualy turn off od unless there is now head wind, hill and my tires have over 35lbs presure, that makes a big difference.
anyway ordered 5.13 gears and am considering the supercharger, is the 5.13 still the right choice for a daily driver with the SC?
i also have the hypertech / k& N intake and filter with gibson exhaust.
i would think the supercharger would be night and day better, how is the fuel economy, is the performance close to a 5.7 hemi ?
i know my extended warranty would be void but a used 3.8 could not cost much if the engine blew.
if driven conservitively would the engine life still be cut down dramaticaly?

I watched the video's... Great job showing the before and after results. Huge differance in performance!
Anyone else notice the fuel gauge in the run after installation? looks like it drops pretty quick...

The high-flow injectors can certainly push more fuel at full throttle, but I've actually seen my gas milage increase. I've got to run a few tanks and not drive like a maniac to get a good average, but it is definitely doing better than before. Highway driving is considerably better (5-8MPG improvement).

The RIPP supercharger is better on fuel than a Hemi. Low-end torque is better on a Hemi, but daily driving feels about the same to me. Changing to a Hemi would clearly void your warranty. You can remove the Supercharger leaving no signs it was there if something were to happen... It was a "no brainer" to me. $4K and a few hours in the garage gave me a completely new vehicle. Best mod I've made by far.
