Good luck with the install, Paul!!! Can't wait to hear how it goes... I guess I'd better start saving my pennies now in case it's good news.
Yes I know the encryption issue, that is why I asked the question. Although prodigy performance turbo kit works with the 2011's and they use a stand along programmer not a piggyback system. So it is possible....

Im excited about this as well... I will do the first one just before i receive the unit, the second within 2-3 weeks after install.

This will be the proof one way or the other....

Subscribing too.

FWIW, a buddy got the RIPP a little while ago, and reportedly had terrible customer service from them in trying to get it tuned properly. Yeah its double hearsay, but I'm just sayin'.. Just checking out the options.

Looking forward to your install. I saw this supercharger in their booth at SEMA and it looked like a clean install.

How many lbs of boost is it supposed to give? And idea on horsepower and torque claims?

From Their website:

Available in spring 2012 is the Sprintex Jeep JK supercharger system for the '07-'10 Jeep 3.8L v6 engines. These first generation v6 Jeeps only make 210hp compared to the 280hp Pentastar v6. Our goal with this kit was to equal the performance numbers of the newer Jeep engines. This system features the same Sprintex S5-210 featured in the 4.0L Jeep supercharger systems. Boost pressure is a conservative 7psi with larger injectors and a Hypertech reflash for a true plug and play installation. MSRP $3995.
