Pathetic 0-60 time...

I know I'd rather have dana 60's in an x, vs a rubi with a supercharger......

You changed it up a bit from the original post... There is a big difference in wanting to go from 0-60 opposed to a passing gear or allowing you to maintain speeds of 75 mph and higher... For about 3K less, you could re-gear to 4.88-5.13's and achieve the same thing for highway speeds....
There is absolutely no comparison to the drivability of a JK with a supercharger vs one with just gears and NA... With the blower the JK is just more user friendly - it gives you the confidence to drive it without planing 2 miles ahead. Also, don't take for granted all the trans shift points and throttle response we tuned in as well, not to mention the 4WD mapping which is way more control. Its not for everyone, but don't mistake the gears as an "on par" mod to the supercharger.

TO be honest, its behind us too - but we're not making race Jeeps, we're correcting the only flaw - drivability - We all have a lot of fun building our Jeeps up and then they become a little less fun to drive.. As a result it frustrates us and we seek more. We are definitely not stretching the JK's power to the very limit, in fact we take great pride in having the most reliable kit out there..
This video really demonstrates the difference in drivability

Uh, I do - that's why I asked the question. It's embarrassing when people are swerving to get around you at stop lights because you're slow, not to mention trying to get up to speed on the freeway. Like I said, I drive this thing everyday. Maybe putting 35s on it wasn't a good idea but it's what I wanted. I would just like the drivability of the jeep back when it was stock and I know I can't be alone on this.

I stopped caring about 0-60 since my last WRX. That thing was FAST. 0-60 in 4.2 seconds. But the real magic was the highway.
This is a 30-80 dash on a bad clutch.

EDIT: if you want to hear it, use good speakers and woofer!
