Im pretty sure I read in here you were running a superchips programmer before the S/C. Did you put the jeep back to stock before you tried the hypertech?
I would tend to think you cannot drive the jeep until you get the tune figured out. This is where the RIPP system would have saved you. You could have removed the belt put the stock tune in and went on as normal until you had the time to figure out the issues

Stock tune was installed beforehand. The ripp is irrelevant at this point. I'm just trying to get this thing going. So the jeep started without the tuning and now it won't start with the tuning. Got a hold if sprintex and he walked me thru the tuning. Still nothing. Double checked map sensor, throttle body etc. guess I'm gonna have to miss work tomorrow. Who's gonna pay for this one?

Is it at least trying to start or is it just cranking without trying to fire?
Is it back firing or popping?check your spark plug wire orientation, seems stupid but it happens

On to the next set of problems. Now the jeep shakes like hell in overdrive and seems to go into it with it off. Tried to go up a steep driveway and it Wundt go faster than 2 miles per hour. The dam throttle was floored. What is up here man.

On the original system, this was true but with current supercharger kits you swap in larger injectors and a different MAP sensor. Even with the blower belt disconnected, the JK will not run correctly...

NOT TRUE!! Our calibrations will compensate. Just take the Blower out of the loop and let our map sensor do the rest! I repeat! JUST REMOVE THE BLOWER from the belt system or disconnect the tube to the intake!!

The RIPP stage 2 gen 2 will run just fine without the supercharger in the loop. No need to change the tune. If fact you do not want to change the tune because that is what takes into account the larger injectors. Just change the belt and drive.

Have tried taking the tune out and put everything back to stock, then try uploading it again?

I,m currently runnin a RIPP satge 2 SC with a borla cat back dual Exhaust...... Ripp long headers
and a whole bunch of other bolts, nuts, wires etc in my rig
to be honest all this stuff talks about 4-6 hours of mans labor with basic mech. skills and plug and play and some basic tools..BLABLABLALALA..ETC.ETC
and IN MY OPINION IT DOES REQUIRE FOR SOMEONE WITH LOTS OF MECH. KNOWLEDGE, ABOUT EN ENTIRE DAY OF WORK
AND LOTS OF TOOLS THAT MOST OF US DONT HAVE AT HOME..
other than that I,ve been running great with my RIPP SC. and all the other stuff I currently run
I put an entire new tranny 42RLE bullet proof from NASCAR RACING PARTS. and a RUBI CRAWLER Gear box to reduce de gear ratio
and I,ve always got lots of help from CHRIS at RIPP,s
so to keep it short..... I absolute recommend running a RIPP SC... Talk to CHRIS and have someone with lots of mech. skills to
install the SC for you.
thanks for taking the time to read all this
and have GREAT WHeelin to you all .....
