I'm running a 6" lift lift with 5.13 gears, dynomax exhaust and 37" wild peaks... Also put in the Ripp SC and feel I'm almost there. What can I do to pick up another 25-35 HP? Headers? Cam?

Let me know what you think and thanks in advance!!!

 

see if you can get a more aggressive tune for the Ripp?

 

LS/Hemi swap.

 

Tow vehicle, lol. I seriously doubt you'll get that much MORE, without going V8 or diesel.

 

X2 for the hotter tune. Though it will likely not come close to those #'s. also will become less reliable.

 

Ripp long tube headers

 

I would agree. Made a noticeable difference when I installed them. Still looking for more. The high altitude pulley also.

Done both and haven't looked back.

I'm thinking the Ripp headers too... If they can offer an incremental ~20hp then I'm good to go.

I spend a lot of time in the Sierra's and the climbing with a full load (all three kiddos plus wife and gear) can be a little trying.

FTR the Ripp SC is really sweet and smooth!

Has anyone put the headers on after installing the SC? Also, any sound difference?

Thx

 

So headers perform the job by using exhaust pulses to lower cylinder pressure below what a normal exhaust does. The SC greatly reduces the benefit by its nature (positive pressure in the intake forces the charge into the cylinders. You will still get a power increase, just not nearly as much as with a normally aspirated engine. Have you done the usual? Timing, hotter spark so you can open up the gap, cooler air in, CAT back, camshaft upgrade etc...

 

Yes I put the headers on after the supercharger. Made a noticeable difference. It is quite a bit louder with the headers. RIPP recommends the hushpower on there website and I would agree. Way to loud and harsh without it.

If you are doing a lot of driving at Tahoe, I would highly recommend the smaller pulley they offer. At 7000' it makes a difference.
