[@gvsskier5011]

I installed a Magnuson SC Oct 2020 on my ‘20 Gladiator Sport 6 speed. I have changed gearing to 4:56, 35” tires, 2” factory Fox lift. The installer is a Calgary AB based reseller and installer of Magnuson SC. I am on tune #9. I am not an overlander or rock crawler. I drive a lot of mountain hwys in BC/AB asphalt and dirt. The best performance is on hwy passing from 90kmh to 140kmh with RPM btw 4,000 and 6,000. The worst is mid range pulling up a mtn road, like a ski hill, where the engine will hiccough and stumble. I’ve also had some scary instances passing in 4whl high snowy roads and the computer cuts power. I can not recommend this modification after 16 months. I will be contacting Ginger to seek help.

[@sorenmelchior]

NIce Video Casey. Got a Question on Superchargers for your tech buddy. How well do they add power at LOWER RPM's? You know, when off roading and crawling? Also has Ginger had experience with other brands of superchargers, like Magnuson for example? I drive a 2020 2 door manual trans Rubicon w/ 5.13 gears running 37" tires and find the 3.6 a slug at lower RPM's (lower than 2.5K), and pick up does not really set in until l get above 3k RPM's. My Holley CAI and Magnaflow cat back rock crawler exhaust helped a little, but the low RPM latency and sluggish power is still very noticeable.

[@MikeSmith-ey7ku]

You want a roots style supercharger for low end like an edelbrock.it will make full boost at like 2k. A centrifugal like this blower builds boost with rpm so it won’t make full boost till the top of the rev range. Either style will be cool on the street

[@rodgood]

You can add a heavier flywheel to help low rpm response , but my only cure was to get rid of it .

[@MEOIT83]

It's just the procharger style that are having issues. The screw compressors don't have issues.

[@kalebbarant1990]

@David Peters the Magnuson, Edelbrock, and Ripp superchargers all beat the 3.6's internals to hell. Everyone I've talked to that has supercharged their 3.6 Pentastar has developed a rod knock after a couple thousand miles after installation. If you add boost to a naturally aspirated engine, you need forged internals to survive. Besides most of these bolt on superchargers only run 8 to 10psi anyway, and you won't see much of a power gain until you crank the boost up a bit.

To quote Vortech "A centrifugal supercharger is a belt or gear driven compressor that features a linear flow/boost output curve"

[@CourageOO7]

Hi! I'm running a RIPP high boost setup with the big intercooler, coilpacks, and catch can, like you. I'm also running water/methanol injection on top of it and I tuned her up on HP tuners. I managed to add boatloads of timing and picked up lots more power at the same boost levels. Plus I get the cooling benefits of the WMI, which is why I really wanted it. I have been running the supercharger for 2 years and the WMI for 1 year. It runs beautifully. So, I actually got the chance to race 2 392's on the street! I bet you never thought you'd hear a Jeep guy say that! Man, off the line I wasn't willing to launch the crap out of my manual transmission that hard because I would smoke my clutch. The 392 from a dead stop is ridiculous. Buuuuuut, I got to run one from low speed on the highway and there's NOTHING in it. My 3.6 SC WMI must be putting out roughly the same HP numbers or maybe more HP and definitely less torque than the 392. But, for like $8k I'll take it...that 392 is bananas expensive but she definitely scoots. Our SC setups can't match those torque figures...but we can get bananas HP out of it and our little V6 can compete!!!
