Hemi, RIPP, and Superchips vs I-70 Denver to Moab
I just made the trip from Denver to Moab and back via I-70 over the continental divide.
The section of I-70 from Denver through Vail and back are notorious for being the ultimate test if a vehicle has enough power. Hold 65 on cruise control and you absolutely have enough. Maybe the Hemi-powered guys can do that.
Knowing that many are making the annual trip to Mecca (aka Moab) does anyone with a Hemi, RIPP supercharger, or Superchips Flashpaq care to comment the performance of their combination on this trip?

Just got back, I got 17 mpg on the way home GJ to Denver. But I need some mo power. Told the mopar tech that this motor is embarrassing. haha. He said, "they know". Talks of bring back the I-6. I was some what pleased with the 5.13 and 34 combo. But I will be gettin the superchip when available. Still want a hemi.
The guys in the next room over said they will do a hemi swap for $10,500. they were from jeepspeed in CA. Just ship them the jeep. They were really cool and knew their $hi+.

I've made the trip a few times in stock form. Today we made it for the first time with the Ripp SC... I gotta give Ripp some props. I was able to run up any speed I wanted; plenty of power.
I was a bit concerned with how it'd run at altitude, but it ran great. I have a boost gauge and a fuel/air gauge... they showed it was about as perfect as it could be.
Good job Ripp Mods!
