I know! As soon as I found that out, it was a major turn off. Let me spend $5k on a SC, and then turn around drop another $1.5k to make it useful.
If you've already done the gear change and looking for more power, I can understand. But, starting from a stock platform, that doesn't look good.

Read my above posts... ive done every form of forced induction there is and unless your drag racing your JK- positive displacement is what your after. SPRINTEX, or the like. RRM has a stage 2 tune for it, and their tune for my then 530hp DD E36 were flawless (after an OBDI retrofit)

I installed the Sprintex SC in my 2008 Jk last weekend. Drove over Government Pass then on to central Oregon form Vancovuer Wa. This is a trip I have made many times in my Jk. What a difference, it's freaking wonderful. Smooth application of power and quiet compared to other SC equiped JKs I have been in.
I am totally happy with this mod.
Fyi purchase price was $2995.00 :-)

They do... but thats because they simply cannot go any faster. If they had the tire technology to do so, they would legalize turbos.
Richard Holdner did a buch of direct comparisons of forced induction setups at identical boost settings. They overlap the boost vs hp/tq vs time of each... think one series was called BOOST VS BOOST VS BOOST for MM&FF magazine.
