GOT TO KNOW YOUR LIMITATIONS

[tractorman]

I have a 2013 Rubicon 6-speed manual, 2.5" lift, 35" tires, etc. I installed the Edelbrock E-Force supercharger. It is supposed to give about another 100HP, feels like maybe 50 extra HP. I mean, it helps and will run 70 up pretty much any grade, but our Raptor feels like it has 3x the HP. But crawling through the rocks or some narrow trail, you just don't need much HP, it is getting to and from the trails where the Rubicon disappoints a little. I suppose I should have looked at the HP/Torque curve before I installed the supercharger because you don't gain much under 3500 RPM and you don't run a Jeep often much higher than that. Maybe the wrong tool for the job. The Raptor has such good torque down low. Impressive.

No sir, I've had 2 JK's, still have one and my oldest son has one, they are 290plus horse stock out of the factory, the earlier JK's pre 2012 were 100hp less, the ole 3.8 and the dog 4.0 litre was even worse than that.

Here is the specs on a 2021 3.6L pentastar (the most until the 392 v8 hits the streets), and basically the same since 2013 (evne though back in 2013 they published 260 Hp, they state now that it was 285, cause we thought about trading ours for the newer engine and interior)

TECHNOLOGY MEETS PERFORMANCE

The legendary Pentastar® V6 engine gets a boost with the addition of eTorque. The mild-hybrid system adds low-end torque for impressive starting power and exceptional rock crawling.

Oh yeah, I have a 2009 JK Rubicon Unlimited, had a 2003 TJ Rubicon as well with the 4.0L (wish my 2009 JK had that 4.0L).

That Hemi in a jeep will cause a bunch of more roll overs I think, lol.
