Awesome performance improvement...
So I had a RIPP SuperCharger fitted. Sure, I would have liked a Hemi but cost was simply prohibitive for me.
Just after a week, I am happy to report that I love the much improved performance. The engine is now properly responsive and has ample go in it.
Just need (it's more want than need) to get a boost gauge fitted now and fly some Prestone washer fluid into the UK...
And finally, RIPP's customer support is outstanding! Well done RIPP and thanks.
Before the RIPP install the JK was great off-road and disappointing on-road because of its lacklustre performance. Now that's sorted, I absolutely love it!

You guys are right about great support and being happy with the power. Running on 38" with stock 4:11 and it is still impressive. Mine was bought used from a guy on our forum and they know at Ripp I didn't buy it from them and they don't care.
In case you haven't heard they are working on a aftercooler for it and some headers which should lead to a stage II kit.

I am waiting for an aftercooler or intercooler setup for this SC, good to hear it is comming. That was the biggest problem with my SC Rx-7 was there was no way of cooling the charge other than water injection

Yes - Front Mount Air to Air intercooling (FMIC) has been being tested for about 2 months now - there will be a results and unveiling as soon as production pieces hit the shop - its all good.
