I hope one of the kits is yours. That would be neat to have a pic of your kit before it was shipped.

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).

Hey Gang, I thought it would be fun to create a slow-motion video of my RIPP SuperCharger run that I posted above with my original SuperChips Tow Tune run superimposed on top. It is nice to see the two runs side-by-side slow enough to actually see what is going on.
Up to about 20 MPH, the SuperCharger was only about 1MPH faster; however, as the RPM's and speed climbs, the delta between the two grows. The RIPP was about 6 MPH quicker and 3 seconds faster on the 0-60 run. I'm confident I would be faster if the shifting pressures were increased and the torque converter would unlock/lock quicker. I lose 1600 RPM when it shifts from 1-2. I'm going to try to tweak this on the Dyno and see if we can improve transmission performance.
Here's the video:

Great video. In my opnion, the Jeep is shifting too early. It needs to wind out to redline...When Chrysler programmed those shift points they did it with stock power in mind. Now that your power isn't falling off at high RPM's I think it should at least go to 6,000 RPM. It's shifting a full 500 RPM before that. Is that what you were talking about improving?
Yeah, 6MPH doesn't sound like a lot, but it is. 3 seconds difference in performance is huge. I can't think of anything else I could bolt on that would make such a material difference. I day's worth of work completely transformed the Jeep.

Gang, I just started a new treat talking about my experience with the RIPP thus far. I wrote a bit about installing it and posted my videos in one spot. I Dyno'ed the Jeep this weekend. We were able to get a ton more power out of it. I'll post my results in the other tread when I get a chance to write about it.
