It's great to see you on the board. I moved here from Ann Arbor, MI so probably not too far from you in NE Ohio. You found a great group of off road enthusiasts. I look forward to meeting and wheelin with you.

I grew up about 30-40 minutes north of Youngstown, Ohio. Not sure if you know where that is, but its close to the PA boarder. Not too far from Ann Arbor when you consider where we are at though.

The supercharger is fun. Kenne Bell's dyno chart for a stock 4.0 engine shows 148 HP and 201 FT LBS to the rear wheels. I have it running 5.5 LBS of boost with a water to air heat exchanger. They show that to produce 214 HP and 307 FT LBS at the rear wheels. Their dyno curve is very broad and flat with over 200 FT LBS from 1100 RPM on up. Now, I have never had it on the dyno myself, so I am just going off their testing...
I am excited to get it out on some trails though to see what it will do. I just need to install my CB (sitting in my garage) and I'll be ready to go. Might modify the exhaust a little as well. Right now it runs very close to the rear track bar and I am thinking it will hit with the suspension flexing. I was thinking of cutting off the tail pipe and running a dump in front of the rear axle. We'll see though as I want to avoid exhaust smells inside while driving. Anyone else tried anything like this? Maybe tonight or tomorrow and I will get that complete.

I did a dump but I used a short pipe that i found at the parts store and I saved the tailpipe and put it on when I have to go to emission's.
Yes I do get some smells inside when I'm slowing down or stopped. but nothing that makes me feel loopy.
Also lookin forward to seeing that supercharger!
