Default SUPERCHARGER. Any ideas for one? Bolt on systems?

Looking for a bolt on supercharger. Living at 7,000 feet, and at 8,400 some times "out at the ranch", I am looking for a mild boost.

Any ideas? Anyone done this before?

There also is a Hesco kit too, and Avenger is supposed to be coming out with their kit soon.

...i live in a little town south of the grand canyon as well..., and i plan on installing a supercharger this winter...

not sure which one to go with yet, however, RIPP has already logged quite a few miles on their test vehicles and have written up some reports on their performance...

keep looking and asking..., this forum is fantastic and everyone is more than willing to help you find what you are looking for...

by the way..., do you wheel much around northern arizona..., keep in touch...

Has installed and drives our systems... you should give him a call and get his opinion on it. Apparently he likes spinning the 37"'s

Any other question we would be glad to help.

As far as I'm concerned, there is only one. RIPP.

I have a RIPP on mine and I love it. The optional methanol boost kit is worth the extra too.
