Well any new project is a good project, it's just a matter of systematically coming together as a group and getting a new kit going. Where are all the Magnum guys hanging out these days?

Does Ripp Mods have plan for providing a SuperCharger for the new Dodge Magnum RT? I know a lot of owners that would be interested!
Thanks,
Scott

I'm too darn busy, somebody grab the ball and run with it! Get back to those guys with list of a few of the most active Magnum forums and this just might go somewhere.

With my past experience with RIPP Mods and their open ended promises. Im sure they will tell you whatever they want you to hear. They screwed everyone around on the 3G Eclipse Forums, waiting and waiting promising and promising, only after SEVERAL MONTHS (almost a year) still nothing in production. Last I hear they had finally produced a SC for the eclipse, but only after extensive computer adjustments and mods could the damn thing actually work. By the time most of them finished the project they ended up with a 30,000+ dollar eclipse (cost of car and all labor and parts for proper SC install) that would barely compete with the 30,000 350Z. Then most of them found dissappointly that the 350Z could be upgraded cheaper and STILL out run their cars!!!!
Just my experience with what they tend to promise, and actually produce! Good luck in your endeavor.

Thanks for the input Medic...I haven't invested any time/energy with RippMods...had already decided to wait for one of the large reputable manufacturers to come out with a SC kit.
But I tell ya, it bothers me that I have heard no teasing of any SC kit coming out yet even. Another 100HP above 3000rpm is just what this puppy needs to wake it up big time. I fear there is not enough interest/volume for a reputable manufacturer to invest in R&D on a SC for this vehicle.
From what I've read on the engine, the stock parts are jam-up enough for me not to venture into new engine internals. Hope I'm not ganna be stuck with just breathing upgrades.
I've really grown tired of the rumor-mills on the performance upgrades...I want some cold hard facts, um products, tossed in front of us! I've seen lots of promising vehicles' aftermarket support dry right up after just CAT's and Intake upgrades...hope we aren't heading the same way.

So far thats the only place the HEMI in the 03,04 RAMs are headed. Straight into the books of a red headed step child that no one will do $hit for to produce aftermarket power!! This truck ranks right up there with the same BS that the 3G Eclipse I used to have went through, nothing but BS and open ended answers to legit questions about a companies ability to produce S/C, ECU programmers, hell even headers for the car.
Fortunately the HEMI does have headers and exhaust, with a few sketchy CAIs being made. Most are finding out that the promise of a Superchip or Hypertech progammer has become a joke in their ability to do anything really impressive for the RAM pickup line.
Thank Chrslyer/Dodge for keeping wraps tighter than a f#$king bullfrogs a$$!!! Sorry thats how I really feel about it LOL!!
