I can say i have been running my SC for a few months now and love it. I had some minor problems untill i put the 3.2 tune in. yes the you get some hesitation on cruize control but i dont use it to much. The only thing I have a problem with is I have to let the jeep warm up for a few minutes before i drive away when it is cold, I am talking -20C (about -3F). If i dont it hasitates alot if i step on it.
The last problem if you call it one is one roads covered in ice I have to start out in 2nd gear even 3rd and very carefully give it gas or i spin my wheels for a very long time HEHE

My 6spd is experiencing some mild hesitation - almost like a momentary drop out during moderate acceleration (these are in the tenths of a second kind of sensation - very brief). Also something is askew when I first start the Jeep in the morning until engine warms up, and apparently unlike others, I lost fuel economy. Good news is RIPP has addressed the 3-crank start issue for many of us, as well as lessened the severity of surging while in cruise control.
As it stands at the moment, yes I have more power, but I also have quirks that were not present prior to the supercharger install. RIPP is working with me, but I have had my problems since April of this year. I have heard everything from I'm using contaminated fuel, to my manifolds must be cracked, to damaged spark plug wires. Also have been told several times since April that my vehicle is the only one in the world with these issues - very depressing (With those odds I should probably go buy a lotto ticket).
RIPP has not abandoned me though, and is continuing to seek a solution that will sort this all out (we're actually in the middle of some "tweaks" at the moment). Hopefully I'll have good news to report in the near future.

However, I think it is a great product, if it works on your vehicle. Crossing my fingers for a resolution for those of us who need it badly. Wow, we have been patient.

Purchase question for RIPP
I was reading earlier in this thread that there will be a lag in cruise controll despite all tune corrections. I am seriously considering the purchase of this RIPP system, but I have to say that I am really looking to see if there is an outside of the box solution for the cruise idle condition. I might be looking for something that is not possible but I am thinking of a system that performs under load as well as at idle (in cruise). I would like to think of this as one of those cases where brainstorming and ideas ultimately lead to a resolution for the Mopar build gaps and upgrade RIPP integration to act as stock during cruise but has the expected power when needed resulting from upgrade.
Make sense?
RIPP - again great support!!!

Uh NOPE. 
As far as I can tell the problem with the cruise control issue including mine has been pretty much fixed. There was the surging problem with the ELT searching while under light to medium throttle. I'm not sure what you mean about idle. The Super charger is not putting out and PSI at idle nor is anything on the market. This has a linear power band that is very useful for the jeeps. You don't get that big rush that you would get out of the roots style blowers. You also don't get that over the top feeling that feels like it spun out of control and you have too much power when you've already let off the pedal.
I like the feel of this super charger. The guys at Ripp Mods are constantly striving to achieve perfection. I like that they don't stop. The power is addicting and it makes the jeep fun to drive.

I am almost done rebuilding my tranny. I lost the entire overdrive clutch pack. This is what your JK engages when it is in 3rd or 4th gear.
Every other clutch pack in the tranny looked like new. No leaks in the tranny that I can find yet.
Very interseting
So once I get this thing in later this week, I will figure out if the latest 3.2 tune is going to do as advertised for me.

The trans control in the TCM is not something that could easily be re written to accommodate another transmission. If anything the best bet would be to install the ECU from a standard and run a manual valve body transmission. Its all doable. All it takes is $$$
