Hey Seer1 ... How you been ????

I just installed the Ripp Supercharger and Immediately saw a 2.5 MPG improvement on the in dash computer and that was 30+ miles in town and a little heavy footin it !!!!

For the money and time invested for fuel economy ........ The SC ( imho) is the way to go !!!!

Are you looking at taking the plunge? If so I will be big time jealous!

I'm leaning towards the RIPP SC. Of course if I did that my better half would be somewhat less than pleased with me. Maybe next year; after she finishes digesting everything I did this year.

Im waiting till AEV does the 2009 5.7 Hemi.

You can expect almost the exact same mileage as the stock V6. In some cases guys are getting a little better.

That actually does worse than my 2006 4x4 2500 Hemi Dodge Ram Quad Cab, w/o MDS. I'm a bit surprised and there must be something else in play.

Hemi mileage...now 'that' is funny! If I could afford to replace my engine with a Hemi, I would never be concerned with the mileage.

Honestly I would expect it to improve. I really have to keep my foot in the pedal to keep it moving. When a rig is underpowered the mileage suffers.

Case in point. My wife bought a Saturn Vue: The 140 horsepower 4 Cyl got 29 mpg on the highway, the 250 hp 6 cyl got 30 mpg on the highway. In test driving the 4 cyl felt like it was really lugging all the time but the 6 cyl feels just right.
