Since I have nothing better to do, my 2012 is currently being upgraded with a procharger D1SC, Kook's header's, and SHR transmission. My Jeep is about 2.5 hrs from me so I won't actually see it until it is returned to me. Hopefully in about 1 month. Sorry I won't be able to answer a lot of questions, because I probably won't have the answers. But, I'll do my best for ya.

Hope not. Transmission is good for 1000hp, custom FTI converter, ATI flexplate, ARP hardware. So I don't think it will break there. In the next couple of years, I might go with pistons, heads, and cam. Not really planning on racing it, so I should be good. The weak link for these Jeep's in the past has been the Nag1 transmissions. Once you boost it's a matter of time when it's gonna break.

Found my transmission on facebook at SHR. The intercooler has been installed. Just waiting on other parts to made up and Kook's to be delivered. I believe this is the first WK2 transmission being upgraded. Although it's a 545rfe tranny, it's still different for the WK2, I believe that the housing is different.

Actually Demon Performance. Skip asked me a long time ago if I would be interested in being the test vehicle. He's put a lot of thought into the project. Procharger wasn't planning on coming out with a kit for the Jeep so he decided to take on the project. Everyone thinks you can just throw a Challenger kit into a Jeep and it will work. That's not the case. Everything including the head unit and intercooler needs to be fitted and bracket's made. Some things need to be moved or swapped out for other options. Hopefully, in a couple of month's if things work out on mine he will have different level of kit's to Procharge WK2's including 2013's and 14's when tuning is available. He should be getting some parts that are being custom made in next week, along with the Kook's headers and green catted midpipes. So maybe we'll be getting some more updates next week, along with pics.

Demon performance is doing the build? From what I know he just resells parts from his basement.....lol. Does he have an actual shop now?

LOL... He's actually using another performance shops space to do the mods. I think in the near future he's going to start his own shop, but that's speculation. I don't think there's many with more knowledge of the prochargers than him. It's going to be a learning experience for anyone who does mod's to these. I've been learning a lot from him and the install. He's been keeping me well informed. So we'll see what happens. I like that no question is stupid to him from me, since I haven't done any major mod's to vehicle's for years. So I'm trying not to annoy him! LOL! That's what's nice about the supercharger's. Even with the reconfiguration's, if it doesn't work out it can be put back. But, that being said. We know that procharger's work on 6.4's at this point and what's needed to be worked out was the install. Johan is going to do the tune in person so that's a good thing too.

any updates? FWIW....as far as I know Johan cant tune for superchargers etc. properly. You may want to contact AJ or arrington...for real

What have you heard Scott? Reason why I ask is I'm going thru the tuning process and have seen/had the jeep act weird while trying to do things that made me think they have not accessed everything yet or just not figured it out. I have heard DS is ready to go though for boost

I was under the impression they had cracked the codes for the fuel maps now....
