Have to chime in. Those programming issues where in the very beginning, I was part of that group, yes it was rough but the finale tune that is used with the diablo now works really well, shifts good, cruises great no surging of any kind. Going on 2 years now since install and it is a daily driver, no visible or audible signs of stress with 97,000 miles on the clock, 30,000 of that with the supercharger installed. I am glad I got the Sprintex and hope to be getting the intercooler by the upcoming summer for our trips. What I have read sounds like the intercooler upgrade and tune are very impressive. Wish I could give more on the intercooler but funds are holding me back right now.

That's actually very helpful, thanks. I guess like anything else it takes a while to get things ironed out. Glad to hear it was worth it.

I can agree with 4wheels4life. We had no issues programing the JKU and it ran and still runs very smooth. The customer called us up immediately to tell us how much better his Jeep was and everyone that has driven it has been blown away by the performance.

Just looked at innovates web site. Non inter cooled Sprintex with tuner 2499.00. Not a bad deal at all.

As I have been looking into this option. I learned that sprintex makes that kit for Innovative motorsports to their specifications and isn't supported by Sprintex. Seems sketchy to me. They are also not listed as a dealer on sprintex's website

I can't talk to how they do business, but you are wrong about sprintex not supporting them. Sprintex made an announcement introducing innovate as a a primary dealer in North America.

Cool, thanks for the info.

Ok, so I found out more and why the confusion around Innovate. They have stopped being the primary U.S. distributor for Sprintex for one reason or another. So, they are selling off their inventory and that is why they dropped the price. They do have a custom tune, but the standard tune and supercharger comes in the packaage. So, the product is still supported by Sprintex.

Hope that helps.

I guess I'll find out first hand if this is a worthwhile upgrade, I just pulled the trigger on one through RPM Extreme. I had trouble passing on the price...$2500.00 . I'll be able to upgrade the kit with the inter cooler as funds allow. I'm super stoked to re power my rig!

That's cool. I'm waiting on mine to ship. I hope I'm have it this week and on by the following week. I'll keep you posted.
