The Hemi also runs on regular 87 octane fuel, so you won't have the additional cost of premium fuel that you would have with a supercharger.

I am not runnin premium or mid grade ( although the kit has a switch so you can ; which will give more power ) It is not necessary !!

I have more than enough power with 87 octane !!!! Ripp's electronics gives you both options and ( if you want ) you can install a switch to go back and forth between 87 and 91 octane !!!!

I am running a Methanol Injection Intercooler that I purchased from Ripp at the same time ... So they did most of the connections at the factory for me to connect it to the Supercharger Electronics !

The 5.7L Hemi MDS recommend 89 Octane....but I ran 87 Octane on my Dodge Magnum R/T and felt no difference in power or any difference in fuel mileage...but Manual states the 5.7L Hemi should run on 89 octane to avoid knocking. The 6.1L hemi requires 91 Octane.
