Default Supercharger

I have 140000 on my 2007 3.8 jk. She doesn't burn any oil and I was wanting to put a supercharger on it . I was thinking sprintex. Has anyone installed superchargers on these jk with lots of miles and had problems? (Internals, gaskets etc)

RIPP has a supercharger for the JK... A Ripp rep is alive and well on this site too... I'm sure he will be piping up soon. From what I can tell, it looks like that's your best option... The cheapest I don't know, but I think Ripp has designed their supercharger for the Jeep JK. There are tons of youtube videos out there from them. I'm not sure who else make a supercharger strictly for the Jeeps.

I was also going to suggest the RIPP Supercharger. They're bolt on and a lot of people are really happy with them. I haven't heard of anyone putting one on high mileage engine like yours, but if you give those guys a call they'll let you know if they think it'll be an issue! Let me know if you'd like a quote.
