find someone with one.....

the sprintex S/C makes power right on throttle tip, unlike the ripp or prodigy.

and really, if your looking for speed, sell your wrangler and get an SRT.

What is your intended use? If you're just looking to race, not sure you've got the right type of vehicle.

No way I disagree I've got the supercharger and it doesn't make power near my Chevy 4.8 liter

Customer is showing the cruising of Jeep. It is not at wide open throttle. The Jeep is programmed to shift at 5600rpms at WOT. Try it with your Jeep.
This is definitely the case.

Take a look at the video again, and you will see that the driver is just driving from 0-60 as the majority of the people would do. In order to get actual 0-60, you need to go WOT from the beginning. I had to get a datalog to Prodigy at WOT in 1st & 2nd yesterday. My tires chirped between 1st & 2nd. Prior to the turbo, it would have taken a miracle for that to happen. I have a 6spd with 3.21, 33's and 2.5" lift.

If yours can do this, then you are all set. No need for a forced induction system. I am glad that I spent the money on my Turbo and all the extras.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKpvBr9zZqg Took this today. Simple U turn and slowed down to let traffic go ahead. I tried to make the video as close to the other as possible but actually using Wide Open Throttle (WOT) 3:73 gears, auto trans, 33" tires
Hope this helps.
