I had a supercharged miata and it was a blast. This one would be great for towing or climbing that tall rock a little bit easier.

I think the lack of demand was due to exploding engines... haha.

More discussion here:

There is a major problem with the 3.7 V-6(same goes for the 4.7 V-8) when force fed,the top piston rings are located to high and the added PSI can break those piston releasing the top piston rings,bye-bye engine.Kenne-bell tried a super charger set-up at only 5psi and blew the engine and then they axed the kits for the 3.7 V-6's.You'd need to tear the engine apart and get forged pistons put in and major headwork done.Looking at about $3000(parts alone) alone to just get the engine ready to take the added HP from a turbo or supercharger.Not to mention it would be a piping nightmare to add a turbo to the 3.7 V-6 in a KJ.

The KJ is a Jeep,not a sports car,it's got plenty of power for what it is made for.You want to race get something ment to race,not a SUV.Don't add fuel to the fire by rolling your KJ in a street race,the greenies are trying to ban SUV's already and they don't need more free press supporting them.

You want a better sound add a FlowMaster 40 or super 44 muffler,JBA makes header for the 3.7 for '03+ KJ's also,add a CAI and you'll get about 20-30HP more.

Who says Jeeps cant be fast. Anyone here got anything that will do sub 10s in the quarter on street tires?? (I Couldnt get the HTML taging to work..thanks for the tag below)

I just saw the kit when after reading about it I searched for it. If you can get half of that performance with Headers/Exhaust/CAI then I am there. Curious what this B&G chip is going to do for me.
