Ripp Supercharger vs Hemi
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.
Am I the only one who feels the 5.7 hemi is underwhelming? I have one in a 2010 ram and it sure doesn't feel like 390 horsepower to me. Having said that, I'm also unimpressed with the 3.6 in my wrangler. Powerband is much too high for my likes. How are you guys liking the bigger hemi's? Are they a better option than the ls motors?

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.
