I could take one or seven lol. It is a bit chilly so full throttle starts are a bit crazy?

So really impromptu video, had my daughter take it when we went to lunch. There is some comical voice over for your enjoyment. It was about 4F out and this was a cold start
Not exactly what I was lookin' for, but good for you spending time with your daughter! Most teenagers wouldn't be caught dead riding around with their dads! I take it you are "cool dad" lol. Still waiting for the fine folks at Magnusson to post up a vid of an off the line acceleration with video from the cabin and outside the JT! C'mon take my money! easy slam dunk sale, but wanna see what i'm buying first! ;)

I will get a couple when it is not -10 without windchill. I can easily spin my 35s. I don't do it much as I dont really want to eat up my parts and tires, but when egged on I like to make big trucks cry lol.

Okay, now I am REALLY confused. I saw on Quadratec it said "Not for Jeeps with start/stop feature". I assume that is the wonky engine shut off when you are at a stop light. So I asked Quadratec and they told me the Magnusson supercharger is NOT for my JT! Is this true or is this employee misinformed?

My opinion is they are misinformed, but I am not sure what decisions Magnuson is making. If anyone is serious about this hardware, and worried it cannot perform, your welcome to drive my jeep. The hardware is capable. The stock JT tune is less than desirable which has created quite the bar puzzle for the aftermarket. Especially since this engine works so well in all other platforms. Someone made the call it was a wrangler with a bed ship it. The issue is, the wrangler is barely making it work. Now you compounded the issue. That is my personal 2 cents

Yeah...think i'm going to wait it out. That coupled with the fact that I am not confident in the know-how or lack thereof of the jeep shops in Tampa Bay. I would barely consider leting these idiots change my oil let alone install a supercharger and a tune

Storm Offroad here in Morton, IL does incredible work and I am a picky SOB. I also do some tuning for them. Just a thought.

Ummm, just my .02c, the Q&A on Quadratec is bullshit, they regularly post answers to people’s questions that are flat out untrue...

Yeah, I figured that may be the case. They either need to retrain this employee or fire them. Could have just cost them a sale!

Just had mine installed by Charlies Care Care on Gulf to Bay in Clearwater. He's the absolute best and was very reasonable on what he charged me. No issues and very professional. Couldn't be more happy. Call him at the shop and tell him Kevin sent you. His number is 727-559-0110

Looking to get one of these installed but looks like getting the evolving tune right is key. Any ideas/recommendations for good shops in the NYC/NJ area?

Well I can tell you Magnuson is taking the situation serious and actively working the situation. There are existing solutions, and even better improvemts on the way.
