Installed my RIPP Supercharger kit recently and gave it a quick test. not really happy with these numbers. i've also noticed the Boost gauge does not exceed 4psi. I tried both RIPP Tune and a Custom Tune. looking forward to read your suggestions :confused:

Test Race (vs Jeep SRT)

0-60 Time


1/4 Mile Time

I have heard tuning issues with the Ripps. But those numbers are basically stock numbers.

They are not stock numbers whatsoever. I dont care what your on board stuff is telling you, you are not running that time in 1/4 mile with your ride on a track.
he has minimal gains for sure and you can hear its not building boost or not getting enough fuel
I would have it DYNO Tuned to get it right.

No not 1/4 mile time but 0-60 is very close to stock. 1/4 should be in the low to mid 13's with this setup and 0-60 should be way lower then that. Like you said it seems like a boost issue where it isn't building it.

You could get a Tazer and turn it to RWD.

Stock numbers are 0 to 60 in 6.6 seconds and a 15.0 flat in the 1/4 mile. It's almost a full second faster than stock, but those numbers are still an an improvement. They could be better. This Durango with a Whipple does the 1/4 in 13.2 at 104 mph which is about 4.6 to 0 to 60, so your Durango should equal or get close to those numbers.

Looks like i have two issues, my Tuner confirmed that the engine belt slips, and cannot be tightened any further. and RIPP is suggesting that my headers is causing huge boost loose. and wants me to purchase a bigger pulley.

Yeah that is not the answer...
I AM CALLING BAD TUNER
PAY either HEMIFEVER OR JOHAN MENGS ( DIABLOTOONA) A FEE TO REVIEW AN EMAIL LOG YOU SEND THEM OF HOW ITS RUNNING
I'LL bet they can find something just looking at a log and possibly adjust tune via email (not best way but not much choice)
Good Luck

Headers causing you to lose boost? I have long tubes and I see 8psi at WOT and that's about what Whipple says I should be seeing with the pulley they provide. Something sounds suspicious to me...

Tested the leaks last week there was nothing.
Finally bought a smaller pulley from RIPP (3.25") instead of the original (4"), also spoke with Johan he is waiting me to install the pulley first.

Excellent, you're narrowing it down.
I do remember installing a whipple on a marine GM big block and after installing headers we too lost boost.
We had to install a smaller pulley to get the boost back up, but the upside was the engine made more power and the boat gained speed over the stock exhaust manifolds.
So if the belt isn't slipping you will be good to go soon.
