RIPP is the only charger I know of, and they are testing for the 2011 I think. It's not in production yet. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

Did avenger supercharger stop making them for our jeeps or go out of business? I am not knocking Ripp, i just know there was more than one supercharger for the 07-11 jeep 3.8L.

Now Hesco is producing a stroker kit for the 3.8.... I wonder how much HP gain you will see. It's cheaper than a super charger...

I rather go with motor mod than a supercharger. I just always see so many people complaining about lag variations with the Ripp. Surging with the cruise control on and such. I wondering if they finally got a good program for it!!

2011 RIPP Solution is now in production - We are filling back orders from all the pre-orders - As a result the part number is not public yet. However we should have it officially up in December.

Surge - was isolated to a hand full of JK's which had questionable MAP sensors supplied to us earlier this year. We are working one on one with those clients and resolving it one by one...

Yeah I'm super interested in your product but waiting to see or test drive one setup before I install one. I currently own a 2010 Rubi with Auto and 5.38 gears and having even a tuned down system and not peak HP is what I'm looking for. I rather have a wideband of 30hp and or Torque than a peaky small area of 60hp or torque on the top end of an RPM band.

Great argument - and we agree and deliver...

Yep - here's is one. We drove it from NYC to Moab UT, wheeled it hard and drove it back...

Good luck. The sole vendor has horror stories all over this forum.
