Pro charger i didn't like the fact that you have to relocate the starter and cut fan shroud and you have to pay for helical gears in charger which are standard in Ripp . Ripp does go in nicer. but I don't know the comparison on how they perform? My RIpp is loud with the blow off vale (SWOOSH) when I let off gas, very little whine ,very fast ,almost ridiculous on my 38"s. I actually want to quiet down the blow off valve some how? but to each there own some people complain about to much whine on other brands (pro-charger),and some guy like hearing the air release. they both write their own software and use Diablo sport to put on market to make it user friendly or you can opt to custom tune with pro-charger, with laptop, keep in mind anyone advertising over 400hp to wheels will damage this 3.6 over time, under 380 hp to rear wheels is safe. My Ripp produced 425 hp to the rear wheel on Dyno. Ripp actually turned it way down, and thats the program release the 2019' JL's and up are getting with kit, depending on your ECU number given to them before you get it, my engine feels like a V8 from the start , sounds like a Jet taking off when I lay in to it
then you have roots style, cleaner install , but they have LAG and more money, less low end power, i run the roots style on my CTV V8 640hp, i would never have roots style on a jeep, or any lifted truck
Procharger and ripp use a centrifugal style supercharger which is very similar to a turbo but its belt driven instead of exhaust gas. They require rpm to build boost. All of the roots style kits out there today for JLs are actually a screw type supercharger. The two designs are similar enough to be grouped in the same category for this discussion but a screw type is more efficient than a roots.then you have roots style, cleaner install , but they have LAG and more money, less low end power, i run the roots style on my CTV V8 640hp, i would never have roots style on a jeep, or any lifted truck

A screw type blower has more low end power and less lag than a centrifugal blower.
They are using a TVS1900 which is a Screw type supercharger. Roots and Screw are both positive displacement superchargers and the names have just become synonymous with one another. Externally, they look pretty much the same but the differences are all on how they create boost. Kenne Bell does a decent right up of the differences but there are plenty of articles out there to help explain how each one functionsMagnuson says on their website that they are using a Roots-type supercharger.
Know the difference between the 2 types, which is why I was surprised when Magnuson said "Roots-type". Even they say it wrong.They are using a TVS1900 which is a Screw type supercharger.

I agree, most people chase those numbers without thinking of consequences. I approve of Ripp's line of thinking.Thanks for this... these kinds of reviews are great...
And I'm super-impressed you had the discipline to "turn down" the power... lol... that had to be hard to do...

Clearly you have mixed roots with turbo? Lag? By definition roots-style doesn't have lag. By definition they have more low end power. By definition they're better for crawling because they don't need to spool up like a centrifugal supercharger or a turbo. If you have a manual they don't need you to keep the RPMs up and waste your clutch.then you have roots style, cleaner install , but they have LAG and more money, less low end power, i run the roots style on my CTV V8 640hp, i would never have roots style on a jeep, or any lifted truck
Must have used a smaller pully... now with a bigger pully, the centrifugal superchugger must be a dream to drive (note the sarcasm)Thanks for this... these kinds of reviews are great...
