2 Questions regarding Supercharhing my Jeep
1. My jeep has 5.13 gears with 35's automatic. Is it better to have stock 3.73 gears if I get it supercharged?
2. Does any one know the MPG for a jeep that is Supercharged with 5.13 gears, 35's and automatic?
Both questions r equally important.....

Millerman999 has his 4 door supercharged. I ride with him sometimes, and damn his power is great!
The mpg calculates to around 20 on the dash. But i don't believe it's 100% correct.
He has a 5.38 ratio.

Edit: found a post by RIPPMODS that talks about gears:
We use the 4:88 with 35's and a supercharger - its the best combo for all around - the 5:13 are our gear of choice in the city and for rock crawlers - the fuel economy is real with a blower - but it really depends on your right foot - Most people see 2mpg gains with the charger added...

- Your gear and tire combo are perfect by our standards -
- Most forum members have seen a 1-4mpg increase - at very worst it stays right where you are now with 100more HP.

Obviously this guy has never ran a RIPP supercharger or any supercharger on his jepe before and is offering up opinions and not facts.
I have the stage 2 RIPP GEN 2 on my 07 JK, with 35's, Auto, and 4.11's. I have noticed a gain of about 4mpg on the highway with mine and I get on it a lot to pass and almost never do less than 70-75.
As far as gearing, I am looking into gearing mine to 5.13's as well so I would sya you have a great start to get the supercharger from RIPP. I love mine!! it has torque like the old inline six's down low and will run like a 5000lb vehicle with some umph up top.
