You can read charts all you want but I have one and drive one and I personally believe its a waste of money.

The charts look like they begin graphing in the 3300+ RPM range. I'd like to see increased performance beginning in the 1500-1800 RPM range. What am I missing, except maybe the point?

By the way, hope you're enjoying the cooler climate up there.

This dyno test was on an auto jk. The torque converter would not allow the engine to hold 2k rpm or even 2500 rpm without downshifting to second. Be nice to see the exact same tuning done on a manual jk with the avenger.

I have an 09 Rubicon 6sp with the Avenger Supercharger and I have tons of power from beginning to end.. So I'm confused on your statement of power gained at top end?

I have been dying to talk to someone with an avenger SC system as the torque boost all the way down in the 1200 - 1500 range really appeals to me and seems like it would drive just like a v-8. What was your before and after fuel economy numbers? How does it act at very low RPMs? I ask because sometimes I idle around town at ~1000 RPMs and worry that the tuning for any supercharger may not allow smooth engine operation in that low of RPMs.

To someone who can finally speak for the elusive Avenger system that I've been dying to hear about!!
