I have a diablo for my jeep and one for my GMC Denial. They are great!

As far as your numbers claiming rear wheel HP vs at engine HP. This next video is by Ripp which show 317 HP and about 280 Ft Lbs. at the “Rear Wheels,” on a 3.6 engine (which is great don’t get me wrong.) From what I’ve seen Dyno numbers are all over the place, due to any sort of things from even the people not knowing what they are doing, to weather, or even tire pressure. Not sure why there is such a big jump in horse power coming from the same place. (could be the tune, a broken in motor, or even a colder day)
If you are not sure what tune you are running you can call us at 718-815-1313 ext11. or ripptuning@gmail.com and we can get you updated.

This was the initial tune, which has since been optimized. All 2012-2014 clients should now be on the RIPP version 2.0+ calibration. As with the OE manufacturers, we are constantly refining and updating.
If you are not sure what tune you are running you can call us at 718-815-1313 ext11. or ripptuning@gmail.com and we can get you updated.

Just curious... I found these videos from Ripp... He stated in this video, (could be you idk) that if you add the Ripp headers you should be getting the same kind of rear wheel HP power out of your 3.8 as the 3.6 does stock. Is that true?
Just curious.
According to the videos, the 3.8 with Ripp long tubed headers, after market exhaust, and a program, is pulling the same HP numbers and 50 more ft lbs of torque than the 3.6 in stock form.
STOCK
3.6
HP = 183
TQ = 150
WITH RIPP LONG TUBE HEADERS AND PROGRAM
3.8
HP = 180
TQ = 200
Now if those #'s are correct, (IF) than the whole purpose for this post in the 1st place would be answered. (without all the run around)
Anyone with real numbers on adding certain upgrades?
I don't hear many people talking good stuff about the 3.8 and I know the 3.6 has great numbers on paper ( 83 + hp )
I ask these question because I've always likes upgrading my vehicles and I would love to add a few thing that would help me keep up with the newer 3.6 Jeeps Wranglers. Not looking to blower their doors off, just would like to keep up a bit. If I could gain 50 hp by adding a few things, I think it would be worth it.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks

Really starting to look at the Supercharger...
I've seen it hooks up to the AEV snorkel, but will it also install with my ORW trans cooler? I would think it and the inter cooler would interfere.
