Gang, I compiled my RIPP install pics into a video. Thought some of you would like to see it. Most of the process of installing a RIPP Supercharger without the intercooler are documented. There are only a couple of steps I didn't get pics of (installing the small PCV Valve in the breather hose and the new MAP sensor). Message me if you have any questions.

Nice video - should give most an idea of the install....
We've tested for 60k on one truck with no issues... we do not by any means push things to their limits. We are very Conservative in our tuning and total approach.

I remember all that. Must have taken you twice as long with all the pics.
What video editing software you using?

I use a few different programs for video editing. iMovie, Adobe Premier and Final Cut Studio. iMovie is the easiest to use, but is only available for the MAC. There are some online sites that let you edit movies as well. I've used OneTrueMedia dot com in the past. They have a free and pay service.

Hi gang, I have proof positive that the RIPP SuperCharger makes the JK a go-fast machine. Today I was driving down the Chicago Skyway. When I left a toll booth from a dead stop I floored it -- I forgot that I don't need to do that anymore. Anyhow, I blew by a cop parked about 300 ft. in front of the booth exit. He sits there looking for people that don't pay. I passed him at 65 MPH and by the time I let off the gas I was doing 75. Fortunately I saw him pull out and slowed down to the 45 MPH speed limit quickly. Of course, he pulled me over. Figured I was going to get a ticket for sure.
When he walked up and looked at my big, heavy, 4x4, I could see the puzzled look on his PO'ed face. He asked me how fast I was going. I said, uhh, about 45 maybe 50. He said no way I was doing 50! He then lectured me on going 5MPH through the toll booth and that it was a 45 MPH zone. He said I had a led foot. I asked him how fast was I going? He said he didn't know, but knew I was going a hell of a lot faster than 50. He said his car shook when I blew by him. I said I couldn't be going that fast. I'm in a Jeep and I only have a V6. He looked again, then told me to not go 1MPH over 45 until I got to Indiana and walked back to his car.
I'm damn lucky he didn't have his radar on. 2011 is starting out to be a good year!!

Two questions:
How is it on pulling? I Have a 3500 lb boat that i can barely hold 2nd gear with going up a steep hill. People passing me like I am standing still
Is this a set and forget setup or do I have to constantly tinker with it?
