  Edelbrock Supercharger

  Installation was smooth. The instructions were crystal clear. The Craftmanship of the Supercharger looks and performs better then I anticipated. Nothing better then making a big purchase and have it exceed your expectations.. My salesperson Crystal from Extreme Terrain was great. I had a few questions prior to purchasing and she quickly got all the answers and more from Edelbrock and returned my calls within 1 business day. A to Crystal.. Once the install was complete the jeep fired right up and had a great angry sound.. The stock tuner boost is set at 8lbs and that was enough to wake the 3.6 Penstar right up.. Launching the jeep reminds me of a 383 swap i did in a 91YJ. Boost is instant.. No waiting for rpms to rise before getting the power you expect from a supercharger.. The Jeep pulls and continues to pull until you stop accelerating. Supercharging my JK with 37's and 513 gears was all i was missing.. No more having to downshift to pass or driving up hill. Gas mileage is better then stock because you dont have to drive with the pedal to the floor to get where you want to go.. Overall very happy with my purchase.. The only thing i wish they offered or added was the cold air intake. The aftermarket ones dont really work anymore. The factory one is too restrictive. Fortunately i have a friend thats a fab welder and he was able to make me a better one out of stainless steel..

  Very nice addition

  Installation was easy with the instruction book they sent, it had pictures to help. Everything went smooth. When I did have an issue, Edelbrock was more than happy to help over the phone, very little wait time. After the install, I was able to drive around and definitely noticed a better difference. It's not a racer, but it holds speed much better. The acceleration it more responsive and I did notice a difference in manuel shifting. It feels to shift smoother, like and automatic in a way. Not sure why that is, but a bonus.

  After install...

  My review above... I wanted to let those who needed to know what I didn't know when purchasing in on a small bit of information. I can't edit the review so I will add below for after installation. This thing is absolutely amazing in every way. I installed it in about 11 man hours over 2 days as I wanted to take my time. There were a few tricky spots with the installation that I had to work on for a bit, one is the mounting of the water pump. (Add a small piece of masking tape over the bolts to hold them to the socket so you don't lose them in the frame) But the instructions were clear and direct. I installed it by myself in a garage with no help, so it's definitely manageable as a one person installation. As for the charger: amazing! It fired right up after install and off I went. I dropped my 0-60 to 5.5 sec, although I have a mod exhaust and intake but still... The punch is extraordinary from top to bottom of the RPM range and is smooth and constant though shifts. Although I haven't taken it off-road yet aside from cutting up in the snow. The boost is just wow and the torque is insane. I punched it on a wet road at 45mph and even in second I got full spin on the tires. I can only imagine what this thing will do off-road. As for the noise, it runs relatively quiet until you hit the throttle, then the whine it puts out is just sick. I steered away from the centrifugal for its faults and went with this one instead for reasons I have mentioned before. I'm so glad I did, there is on wind-up. the bypass doesn't affect my gas mileage, and when I hit the pedal the boost is instant. I couldn't be happier.

  So far...

  I haven't been able to install it yet so as to performance I cannot comment yet. Will edit after its all said and done. Now.. So we will start off with the pluses. I had great communication as always with Extremeterrain; why I always try to buy here when I can. It Shipped when it was supposed to and actually arrived 4 days before estimated delivery. Bravo. I can say that programming the tuner is straightforward as the installation should be. The installation guides all come fit very nicely in a small 3 ring binder and everything is spelled out step-by-step for a smooth install with pictures at every step that have the pully/hose/screws etc. highlighted in a almost neon blue for easy recognition. There is also a tools needed list that appears quite comprehensive and not much needed which is specialized that an average semi-familiar jeep enthusiast should have on hand in the garage. Pulling it out of the box it is gorgeous. It matches the factory engine component black perfectly. I honestly can't wait to get it up and running. Now for the glitch. Let this be a disclaimer that anyone can confirm through Edelbrock themselves by speaking to the programming specialist as I did. ATTENTION!: If you have used a superchips flashpaq on your Jeep (there is another brand also but I can't remember which; I used the flashpaq so it was what I was concerned with) it does not replace all the boot files and you WILL have to replace the ECU to get the SCT programmer to flash the tune. It cannot be reflashed by the dealer and work; apparently there is a ghost file left from the flashpaq that the SCT recognizes and will not allow it to flash your tune. All-in-all its a minor bump but be aware of the need if you have used one before to tune your jeep. I will edit and update when I have completed the install; I'm excited to get it done finally after looking at chargers and comparing them for so long. Don't get me wrong, I would still choose this charger if I had to do it all over again. For what I plan on using it for, it is by far the most fitting as a screw/roots hybrid for me. The centrifugal design just doesn't appeal to me. I wanted instant boost with the power starting lower in the RPM spectrum that I can't get from a Centrifugal configuration. Watching vids and doing research, it seems as if Edelbrock put a considerable amount of thought into engine design and ease of changing filters and such when engineering this product. Other than the minor setback, I am happy with what I have so far in product and in service.
