See for me I'd rather dump that money into a sick axle. IMO there is more to be had by changing the axle, vs a supercharger.
I know I'd rather have dana 60's in an x, vs a rubi with a supercharger......

i use my 1988 yamaha vmax to work out my 0-60mph ... 2.4

We don;t mean to be argumentative - we're simply following the dynamic of the conversation...

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.

Agreed, I def enjoyed that episode of extreme 4x4 RIPP -vs- hemi.. I do like the fact of the tuneable feature. I know the gears won't pan out to the performance of a supercharger as well, it's more of a way to say I'm to poor for a RIPP... Haha Now, if your willing to donate or need a JKU for an upcoming project.....

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

Why do we care about 0-60 times in jks?

Bauker

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.

Your def not alone, we are just giving you a hard time, but in good fun. If your not willing or cannot afford the RIPP, I would highly suggest a re-gear and a superchips... I even noticed a difference with my custom snorkel/CAI....

Sounds like you need a regear to get some of that power back, especially if you're talking about the grapevine.

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.
