Should I Get a Supercharger For My Jeep JK ?

How much of a difference did the SC make over stock? Also is there much difference between ripp,edelbrock, and the other brands?

I haven't driven the others, so I can't give a comparison. I will say the SC woke it up quite a bit. I can very easily merge now on the highway and no longer struggle to pass semis.

I went Ripp because the install seemed to be the cleanest and was easily reversible. I also got a really good deal on it at PA Jeeps last year.

EDIT: If nobody here on the forum has any other suggestions, see if Trail Jeeps has any experience with it, they are in Golden.

I was talking with Wes from Trail Jeeps at a Mile High Meet-up recently and we got to talking about the LS in his JK. It ain't cheap. He invited me down to the shop to drive a demo equipped with a 3.6 and turbo. His claim is it's as fast as a 5.7 Hemi for way less $$'s. For me a properly geared 3.6 has plenty off road, but you can never have enough driving on pavement at 10,000ft. Disclaimer: I haven't been to the shop to drive the machine 'cause I'm afraid it might be as good as he says it is. For what it's worth the LS JK is a monster and seems to be bug free. Good luck!

Yeah man that LS was pretty badass. Unfortunately i cant blow $30k on a motor swap.

If you like unpredictable power surges on the trail then a supercharger is perfect. If you don’t, then don’t waste your money on one.

V8 Swap it instead. Motech makes quite a good kit

In my HONEST opinion, the best super charger kit out there is the one on someone else jeep, Far FAR away from my jeep :yup:

Merged your thread here. Happy reading. Also, search for Supercharger vs LS Swap, you'll find there are some other threads about that.

What's the main difference between these 2 for a 4-door JK, and which would you recommend?

6.0 L96 Engine
6.2 L9H Engine +$2000

I’ve had both now. The L96 was tuned pretty hot and was a dramatic increase over the V6. I’ve had the 6.2 in for about a week but unfortunately we haven’t had a chance to get on the dyno, so it’s running the same tune as the 6.0, which isn’t bad but I can tell it can be better.

Which would I recommend? The L96. Tough engines if you can find one with low enough miles.
