Oh, and my MPG went from around 14 to 17 (mostly city driving)!

Thanks for the reply. What size of tires are you running? gears?

Thanks for all the comments. I am looking to get the gears done the same time as the supercharger installed.

Anyone else have input?

Based on my experience, I would suggest one mod....wait a week and then do another. If you have an issue or dislike it is much easier to isolate.

Not to hijack the thread, did everyone get their RIPP installed with a authorized dealer/installer? I have been giving serious thought to having one installed, but it's a hell of alot of $ so I'm trying to prevent any potential issues.

35" tires and stock 4.10 gears. I know I should regear, but with all the extra HP from the RIPP, why bother

Bottom line is if you take it somewhere, you're probably looking at around $1000 for the install.
