Low End Roots, vs. High End with Centrifugal
Here's my opinion, high end......in lower gear. Sounds crazy, I know, your brain thinks you want low end because its a jeep, but I was climbing nearly straight up in Moab, in first, 4lo, and where others goosed the throttle, I'd ease the rpm up and she would slowly crawl. Made it look easy.
Spots offroad where you think you need momentum, with the sc you don't. It continues to build power, just steadily climbing.
Goosing the throttle is all of our enemy. It's how thing break.
Can adding the SC bring on the pentastar's dreaded tick? First its a 2012 problem,
Second, Here's my timeline.
My truck was built in December of 2011. Delivered Jan 13 2012.
So its an earlier 12. I never had a tick.
Put the SuperCharger on (UNTESTED) at about 10k miles.
RIPP my truck to develop the system map for manual trans jeeps. This means Dyno pass after Dyno pass as they played out every situation you could possibly be in on the road.
Then drove non stop cross country. There is no way your going to be harder on your truck.
Im at about 17k miles, I drive like a car thief, and there is no tick.
Here is a video showing that low gear, high RPM climbing technique i was just talking about.
Pete wants to goose the throttle, He is frustrated when I wont let him...watch what happens.
Planning to get my hands on RIPP's 11 psi pulley to run more tests.
