Ever since I bought my JK I've told my wife when the 3.8 dies, I'm dropping a hemi in. I'm at 85K miles now, so I'm getting there. 
But we saw the show the other day and I gotta tell ya, I think I'm leaning more towards the RIPP now. Probably not for this engine. I've got the oil burn issue (About a quart every 1200 miles), and I don't know how much this particular engine will put up with.
But when this one dies, I'm thinking my JK is very likely to see a new 3.8 with RIPP SC.
Good work guys!

Do you have a HP/Torque rating with headers and without?
