Supercharger worth the purchase??
#113
Somebody chime in on the actual ware and tare on a 3.8, as I have, or the 3.6 engine by putting a SC? A lot of talk on this subject has me to a point that I'll buy some RIPP headers and call it a day. If I would win the powerball, I would Hemi up, but there are more important things I need $25,000 for than getting V-8 power. I plan on keeping my 3.8 until it craps out, yes the power from a SC would be nice, but for ware and tare, I'm siding with just headers.

Issues
1) Don't run it without the tune. It wont know what to do and will probably ping horribly and may break something. The barometric code is probably because it does not know about the extra air it is getting and thinks something is wrong.
2) What is the miss-fire code? Check all your connections and make sure your injector wiring is correct.

to be sure to be sure
Thanks. Yeah we went back and swapped out a plug that was faulty even know it was new. I also replaced the spark plug wires and the misfire code was gone Rpm extreme is making me a custom tune today, that I'll load tonight. I was under the impression that the diablo tune was at least ok and would run ok until I got the custom tune. That was wrong, it ran very rough and was detonating at 3000 rpms or so. So needless to say I hasn't been driven since. I can't wait to get her tuned and ready though, I'm super excited, basically it's gonna be like a whole different Jk.
It is VERY difficult to get to once the blower is in so while you have some time have a poke around and make sure to be sure.

So after logging a few miles on this thing, I can honestly say YES it was worth my investment! My Jeep pulls pretty hard off the line and it hits at about 12-1300 rpm and it comes on smooth without much surge. Driving with power to spare in every gear has made driving my very heavy rig so enjoyable. I can upgrade to the intercooler down the road but may never need to as I'm very satisfied with my rigs power and drivability.
