    I like your choice Shaun, that would definitely be my engine of choice as well! Still a monster with power but less parts to fail when you're in the middle of nowhere and you won't empty your fuel tank in 2 hours haha

      @scottleggejr Рік тому +1

      Nah... You need boost in 10k+ elevation - I would prefer it in 7k+. Once you have 1.5+ bars on tap, you're not worried about elevation changes. Superchargers are OEM on a TON of 'important' vehicles these days and have been proven dead-nuts reliable. Just breaks more parts because of the off-idle torque. The old roots blowers are what caused that mindset that they're not reliable. With computers and modern manufacturing methods, your chances of breaking a supercharger are about the same as losing the bottom rotating assembly.

    As the owner of 3 S/C vehicles and a 2022 Gladiator Rubicon, I think it’s always interesting to hear or read people talk about how a SC automatically generates more heat and how it reduces your fuel mileage. No, those things aren’t true. All a SC does is force a larger volume of air into the engine, allowing the engine to run more efficiently and generally they increase fuel mileage on a vehicle.
