The RIPP supercharger and new Poison Spyder inner fenders have been installed and Nemesis is getting closer to completion.  I still have to spray the door sills and the tops of my sliders as well as order and install a rear bumper. 

The supercharger sure has a unique sound.  You can tell there is one on my Jeep at idle.  As you go through the gears, the waste gate dumps the unneeded air.  It doesn't make my Jeep feel like a Mustang or Corvette but it sure adds power to turn the 40's.

It took us about 10 hours to do the supercharger start to finish.  We ran into a couple hiccups along the way which always happen and slow you down but it was a relatively simple install.  We installed new injectors, coilpacks and spark plugs along with doing some grinding on the upper intake to make clearance for the longer injectors.  The electric fan shroud had to be modified as well to make room for the supercharger and we had to mod the sides of the radiator support for the piping to the intercooler. 

I put about 50 miles on it yesterday and it performed well.  You can definitely feel the boost kick in and it gets up to speed pretty quickly.
