Xtreme 4X4 RIPP vs HEMI Supercharged JK Part 3

Look at the torque curves. Where the power is, is key.
I don't know why they constantly use the 25000$ aev price. Oh wait, cause it makes Ripp look wayyyy better.
Jeep Speed Shop does a hemi install for 10 grand. Drop it off with a 3.8, pick it up with a 5.7.

Agreed. And, there is much more power and torque to be made with the hemi than they are claiming. There probably is more power to make with the boosted 3.8, but it would be a time bomb waiting to happen. If you're gonna spend 7000 installed for the supercharger, why not another three for the hemi?

Because the curves are the truth - - and -- it represents the majority, the point of the segment and where we stand in the hosts eyes. Its also an unbiased, independent test which clients wanted. When these shows approach us they explained they have an obligation to get ethical info to their viewers - The point was "sure you can drop a Hemi in" or in reality there is a viable affordable easy solution's that delivers as-per their independent testing. If we bombed they would have posted it.
To be clear - our Stage 2 is $4799.95 and installation is typically $650-$800.00 (tops) so that puts our clients at 5600.00 (tops) out of pocket with a one day turn around... catch it on sales (like it is right now using JKTAX code on our site) and its $5360.00 installed - with a completely reversible modification to grab some equity back in the future... should you decide to sell it off.
To be fair we understand the argument - but at the same time the argument has been proven (by merit) in our favor not for marketing, but by way of educated happy clients.... The reason we were even given the opportunity to be on that show was based on our good standing with end users. End users who have posted their own write-up's and experiences with RIPP... You don't get on those shows if you have a weak product or underlining issues, they do their back ground checks.

Anyone have a direct link to the video? The link on the first page takes me to last weeks episode.
I found the right episode, but the video won't load.

Ross, you might want to check with some of your dealers..... East Coast shops such as Adams Jeep and Jeff Daniels are quoting install prices much higher.
