All did was put in a new set of spark plugs as the original plugs weren't up to the task with he supercharger installed & caused the engine to misfire, no extra upgrades are needed for the sprintex as all the parts required come in the kit

I've got the 2012 3.6L V6 Pentastar and RippMods is the only supercharger currently available for the new engine at this stage - have my name down for production release.

Whilst Sprintex and Magnusun may eventually have a supercharger for the Pentastar, Ripp already have numerous products for multiple Chrysler vehicles and appear much more active in the market. So I feel a little more assured that Ripp will be able to support their product if / when I need assistance.

Ripp currently have the 2012 JK Pentastar SC kit listed at $US 5,995.95, which already has the intercooler included. Haven't heard back yet whether they're doing an exhaust / cold air bundle as well, this may drop the overall price a little as well.

I've got the 5 speed auto, but I chose that specifically when I purchased the JKU in the event I installed a supercharger at a later date.

My last car (Nissan Navara D40 ST-X) blew a clutch and rear driveshaft CV when I put a diesel chip into it, so I wasn't going to risk another clutch with even more torque - hence the auto decision.
