Doesn't work on my phone :( I've been trying to find this video for a while.

I finally watched this earlier today. The supercharger put down better numbers than the hemi.

the supercharger put down better hp but not torque when compared to the hemi. personally i would like to have a slightly higher torque number when the hp numbers were so close between the 2. now when you are talking bout a better bang for the buck then yes the supercharger wins hands down. average cost for the supercharger is bout 6k and the hemi is bout 18k. obvisouly if you are a diy'er then you can probably save alot off of a hemi swap.

RIPP did a nice job on their unit and hemi is nice too, but this is not a sports car and therefor you will want the power curve to be different. You would want more power sooner in the curve and the low RPM torque numbers I think would be the key for me to make a decision.

I love the sound of a blow off valve going off

This was such a BS episode. Compare the RPMs they were looking at. Gee...ya think they got the SC for free?

nope they tested 2 hemi JK's and they both were a let down on power - they are very DE-TUNED and they computers are locked and cannot be custom tuned - So we can maximize our forced induction investment...

Also here is a video of a JK with RIPP Supercharger and RIPP Long Tube Headers without the monster axles - you can see our HP is real...

One thing I didn't like was that the drive train was no where close to being the same. Not a good comparison at all and I don't see how they could air that thinking they were putting them up against each other.

Which one is better for longevity?

Love the Ripp supercharger! Should be ordering mine any day now.
