So, if you don mind me asking, the centri type charger just makes the stock power until it builds boost? So my JK will feel stock within how many yards once leaving a stop sign/ red light? Are wetalking power only made past 3k? 4k? 5K.... I mean it doesnt rev to the moon if you know what I mean. Its a Caravan engine. lol

I had an Avenger blower on my 2.5L, in my YJ. Big difference. I didnt buy the kit new, so it didnt cost me the 5 grand. For what I paid for it, it was well worth it. Not sure if i would do it again, if I had to pay full price.

N8kern,

The centrifugal blowers will make more power than our stock motors at lower rpm. It might take 1500 - 2000rpm before it starts to make power, but you will really feel it once you hit 3000+rpm as it will really build awesome boost/power all the way to redline. The more air forced into it the more it will eat and produce power. I have not driven a supercharged JK, but anyother vehicle I have driven with this type of blower makes power like this.

If you have a manual, it will feel more responsive than an auto, and you should be able to keep it in the powerband more often. Starting off from a light, a manual can get the revs up even before you leave, but remember our drivetrain is not meant for racing. Not sure how long the drivetrain would hold up to light to light hard throttle applications...
