Dyno's don't lie...
Check this out.

Kenne Bell makes superchargers.
The above pdf has from good numbers for stocks jeeps and with a Supercharger.
They also make mention of power gains from Cold Air Intake 13HP, and another thing that picked up 5HP but we're not allowed to talk about here.
They're been making superchargers for years so you know they know how to make HP.
Also look at how flat that 4.0 torque line is.

A positive displacement Super Charger (aka Whipple Charger) is the best way to go without stroking the engine.
Its instant power and no waiting for a turbo to spool up, or a centrifugal supercharger is the same way, boost requires RPM.

thats what i keep trying to tell everyone, but they have those little ricers or pissed off bumble bees in their blood and just like the thought of a almost useless turbo in a jeep

these guys have one for the jk but you can probably figure out a way to put it in an XJ

And another just for the XJ

plus the fact that 4wheel gained a documented 3 mpg, everybody wants better gas mileage along with more power, so why not go with it, still trying to find the power output of that sc setup they have on the XJ
kenne belle got 87 at the engine and 77 at the rear wheels
http://www.kennebell.net/supercharge...-jeepgrand.htm
but i know you can get more with other pulley setups

turbos are not the way to go when low RPM torque is what your'e after.... alot of people use these things to crawl at almost an idle over rocks and logs... turbo does you no good there.

x2 youd be waiting for a long time for the turbo to kick in when your crawling, but i could see if you we're out in the dunes or hill climbing than yeah a turbo would be good but i think id rather have a supercharger, instant power

Centrifugal belt driven Supercharger is nothing than a belt driven turbo.
IT does not make instant boost off idle it takes RPM to make boost.
The Whipple charger on the other hand makes nearly 100% boost in as little as 1500 rpm.
There is thousands of these roots style whipple chargers to be found.
Buicks, 3800 SC engine.
Fords Super Coupe, I would guess this would be the best one for a jeep application, might even ask Kennie Bell if you could adapt this one to their original Jeep 4.0 setup. It is that close to being the same unit, in looks anyway.
