Just curious if anyone has any input on the AFE supercharger? I drive a 2010 Wrangler Unlimited and the only thing I've done to the engine is chip it and intake. But the lake of power has me searching for options. Would this system work and would I have to do additional mods to have it perform properly? Thanks!

Ripp Superchargers are the most popular brands for JK's. They make very complete kits and even have few stages to match your budget. From what I understand the install is very easy because of how well the kit is made. Let me know if you have questions or would like a quote!

Yup I agree with above, Ripp is the best way to go especially after watching the other supercharger threads going around. My install of my Ripp Stage two took a few hours and has run great right out of the box. The power comes on gradually and doesnt seem to stress any of the stock parts. I'm not out racing mustangs but I can actually keep up to traffic now, not just school busses and loaded semi trucks

5 hours to install it with minimal tools (literally used my personal tool box of ratchet/sockets, wrenches, plyers, wire snips for zip ties, etc).

Same here....although if you ever get froggy to test out a mustang (or sport bike), I assure you to "get on it early" and you will give them one hell of a run for their money if not beat them......but that's a story for another time!

What kind of sport bike are you racing? Just about anything over a 250 is gonna crush a jeep
