Default Got My HEMI :D!!!

The thing now is to clean it up, replace any broken parts and prep for install. I paid $1,000.00 on Craigslist for it out of a 2010 Jeep Commander that was involved in a roll over accident.

That's exactly why we designed a system for the 2009-2010 Ram as well.

Don't forget a turbo gives you like 350 hp and they are getting better mpg

We didn't feel that was the best option for a jeep vehicle. Underhood heat, lag, cross contamination of oil, high oil temperature exposure.. They do make good power.

What about the heat from the SC? In my tundra, I almost went with an SC, but had that stupid flex fuel motor. What is the powerband of your SC, thought the perk of an SC motor was to be on demand power, but everything I've been reading has been saying it's upper RPM. Would love a system in the Jeep, I play in the mud and beach on occasion, not really a crawler. Do you have a suggestion for gearing as well when I go with 35's and have a 3.73rear end currently?

It is power on demand, there is no wait for exhaust pressure to build and spin a turbine. The superchargers compressor speed is directly related to crank speed, but begins to make more power almost off idle. Our system utilizes a centrifugal type compressor, which has the lowest instance compression heating loss of supercharger designs. Our systems do make the most power in the upper RPM, nearly doubling the stock power output, but the extra torque and power down low to crawl you up the rock is right there when you need it. No hard "bump" shot on the drive train.

Any luck finishing the 2012 sc kit yet? If not how long would you guesstimate? Thanks

Nothing earlier than Dec. We are still stuck at a 5 sec. delay when requesting more fuel coming out of ECON mode. That's unsatisfactory. The hardware is all done and ready to go!!! Electronics are the issue.
