Sprintex 3.6 pentastar install

But remember an engine with a roots style blower like magnuson forcing boost in the engine at that low rpm it cant go anywere forcing more stress on the engine

I haven't heard of any durability problems with the pentastar yet. However, I certainly understand what you're saying. From some of the articles I've read from around the time the pentastar was released (2012), it seems that the motor was engineered to be reliable under forced induction situations. I guess I'll find out... Possibly the hard way.

Ive already rolled these dice, and did things with forced induction when testing BB that a very rare few will ever put their jeeps thru. I'm pretty sure you're fine.

Keep in mind that the lift-to-shift issue (at least in RIPPs case) is only during "heavy acceleration". I know I don't do too much of that, and honestly, the stock tuning has this issue at times.

That's a great point. I'm looking at the Sprintex solution to increase the power under the entire curve... especially the lower RPMs. I don't foresee myself bouncing the pentastar off the rev limiter too frequently.

Why not? That's where the fun happens. I approach the rev limiter at least a couple of times every day

x2 I go to the limit regularly also. Once you get some punch up there....you'll find excuses.

I am flying today and I will respond to some of these questions. I love my jeep and it drives great. Love the low end torque. Mileage is getting better. When people say lift to shift. Are they talking about the accelerator or the taping the Shifter?

Long vertical pedal. :-)

Yep... Lifting the throttle just long enough to allow the transmission to shift!

ICHEER4BEER, I look forward to anymore comments or lessons learned from your experience so far. Once I receive the blower, I'll be doing the install. Any tips for the install and tuning process would be appreciated as well.
