Not sure if his tuning program supports Chrysler/Jeep he does a lot of Mustangs, Camaros, vettes.
    All power mods come with their own tune. The tune is really what you are buying. You can probably mount a vortech or eaton supercharger or a turbo to your jeep. (turbo more difficult). It won't drive correctly without the tune teaching the pentastar to accept the surplus air.

    What makes the kits worth what you pay for them is the hours and hours of dyno time necessary to build a tune that your jeep will digest and make the jeep's brain accept and use the extra power the surplus air makes.

    RIPP's tune is what makes their product what it is. Magnuson, and Prodigy, same thing. The hardware is the easy part. The tune is where the real time and effort is spent.

    You should not pay a 3rd party to custom tune your power mod. Bolt it on, install the tune, mash the gas pedal.

    100% agree. The pentastar is relatively fresh in tuners understanding of how to make it work. Prodigy has a pretty good tune out that is very drive-able and will only get better over time. They pay a lot of attention to their tune, because as Ross stated - what you're getting with the "package deal" from any forced induction provider, is the tune and future support.
