Default Ok folks which super charger

Now I don't want any vendor input what so ever! Just real life jeep owners with the kits and what they think! Mileage? Best for off road/daily driver? Etc

I don't own either....YET.....

this is a hard one. I love the design of the twin screw, so if sprintex can get a reliable running system, I have not done any research on them yet. so I don't know if their system has been fully tested or not. I will be going with them.

I know Ripp has been around. I am just not a fan of the centrifugal supercharger....more high end power than lower end like the twin screw. Im sure its a great product. Just a different power profile than what im looking for.

So Twin Screw systems have main benefits in the High End power and Centrifugal systems have higher benefits in the Low End power band?

Other way around. Twin screw has better low power, centrifugal has better high end.

I believe it's other way around.

What are you trying to accomplish with a supercharger? What do you do with your Jeep? Every supercharged vehicle I've owned was either a roots or twin screw and probably my favorite would be something eaton based like the magnuson for a daily driver.
