That's right folks...when I went to TOPO the Widebody Kings B-Day Party in L.A. I got a chance to talk to one of the MOPAR supercharger heads. He runs a local shop here in SD, so lets just say his name is Ralph for now.
When I talked to him and asked about the sponsorship proposal letter I sent to him a while back, he remembered me. No shit I ask him like this,"So I hear you the guy that make shit fast? So what can you do for me? Care to step up to the plate?" He replied, "Yeah, what you want to supercharge a 5.7 or 6.1?"...I said neither...my 4.7WK...he turned around and looked at the Jeep and said wtf...thats a 4.7? I thought it was an SRT8...Keep it real I said nope 4.7, so are you gonna step up and make it faster and give me sponsorship? He said, we'll talk here's my card...shoot me an email tomorrow or call me and we will make this happen.
So today I called and he said, he wants me to come bring the jeep by next week when I'm off to go over the build and sponsorship....Fuuuukkkkk Yeaaaaahhhhh....
Don't believe me? asked Tim (Viking757) and Jose (JayBee) what kind of heavy hitters were out there....never lied before...check my build....
NO LIE TRUE STORY!!!! Damn thats wasup man im considering getting into Swift now you think you can talk to the counsil members out here in L.A?...Damn SuperCHargerd clean...Jacobs Jeep Sounds harder then the stock 6.1 Hemi no lie i can just imagine after the supercharger WOw!!!!
Thank Jose...remember that big-fat guy w/ the glasses that owns the Supercharged red maggy??? thats the guy....Kano also got 5 hook-up for DUB and SEMA...So SWIFT...I will talk to Kano and see what strings he can pull ok...
There a slim chance I might be heading out that way to VA/PA/FL if I dont get a promotion by next year. I will be applying for other agencys, so i might just see you there brother...
As far as the build...fukkkkk fast as hell and I've got moths comin out my pockets...eatin ramin and spam, lol.
Yup he is the first to do it and thats y he's going to be in SEMA...It just came out the spray booth today, so as soon as its totally done I will take pics of his whip...MY Jeep should be going in the first week of Sept.
Nice Yeah make sure you take pics I wanna see the outcome of that ride its dope!!..And your Jeep too i wanna see wat they do wwehn it gets out the paint both!!
IF they do decide to go ahead with building a supercharger, it would be ideal if it was practically a copy of the old Kenne Bell kit.
Where it just sits on top of the engine (in place of the intake manifold) rather than off to one side. That means it would have compatibility with the WK, WJ, Ram, and Durango. In a nice kit with all you need to install which for sure would make it very sellable.
Heck, I'd be down for one!!! Hat's off to you if you get that done and good luck man!!!
Oh man this sounds promising! If it will bolt on and fit into the WJ I will most definetly be down for one of these, mark my words. Next Spring/Summer I am going to be dropping some coin on the engine ($8-12k) and right now would be leaving it N/A as I don't want to run a used Kenne Bell really but this could be the bolt on I'm looking for!
Slap in some ROSS pistons, H-beams etc as a insurance policy, cams, heads and bam!
I hope your guy Ralph makes it happen bro!
The Viper swap may not be that easy, a guy on the red site had the motor and considered dropping it into the SRT8 but I'm sure it just wouldn't work so he didn't, could do a search.
theres a still a possibility, but for now I playing the cards that are handed to me. I'm still waiting on Chip Foose to jump on the band wagon because if he does then there will be a big possiblity the 392 or Viper will go in. Besides if the supercharger does happen, then my guy can start making kits for us 4.7 guys that been tryin to beat the 5.7/6.1 guys...
