I can't think of anything good to say about it except it sounds really cool. Do yourself a huge favor and drive one before you pull the trigger. If you cannot work that out, do a little more research on this forum. There are several guys that were less than pleased with the purchase.

I'm having mine dyno tested next week. I'll bring the video camera and post the results on here.

oh sorry, I meant buying a used low mileage hemi, aev kit for 5300, and I would have to install myself.

I think the RIPP is really nice, and they have a good name, I wasn;t knocking their product. The MPG gains kick ass IMO. I guess I am old-school "no replacement for displacement" kinda guy.

How are the 6 speeds holding up to the supercharger? Are you aware of many failures?

X2 I would also love to see you're dyno results. Also what's you're guesstimated vehicle weight. That will let me do the math for my rig.
Thanks!
