Sorry but street and strip and not two words I would use in conjunction with Jeep (unless you are talking an Srt8).

None the less, its your ride. This may give you some ideas,

Supercharger or turbo, still going to be some fab work involved. Good luck

Eaton makes a roots type supercharger kit for the jeep 4.0s

I know Peterson's did an article on supercharging a 4.0 a while back. You might be able to find it on their web site.

If you want a centrifugal supercharger you may have to put something together. I don't know of any available kit out there.

I was looking at options when I started towing with my Jeep I wanted forced induction but after my friend blew a hole in his piston towing up a hill in his truck (most likely a tuning issue) I decided to keep my doggish 4.0 stock.

thanks for your input guys, i can do some fabrication work for it but i think the stroker and and bigger cam would be the way to go for me, saves the frustration:sweatdrop:

What gears are you running, Where you in 4x4, is yours a 5spd, and what motor did he have. I'd love to accompliush the same I got mustang buddies that talk sh** and would love to make them cry HA

If you don't mind me asking what was the total price you paid for the stoker kit plus labor?

Kenny Bell kit all the way

if you go forced induction definitely go supercharger not turbo, seen turbos glow red hot and if you hit the wrong puddle a turbo will crack

If your stuck on the centrifugal supercharger. I'd say hit up Active Auto Works in FL. I put one of their centrifugal supercharger on my BMW M3. Their chargers are good. Then do the fab work if you have the means. I wouldn't doubt it if they wouldn't help you. They helped me alot.
One thing I didn't like about a few of the centrifugal superchargers is that they run such low boost. But Active Auto Works can get you up there. You can set it up with intercooler as well.
Personally, I'd look more into the Easton Blower. More power and it delivers better throughout the power range. I can only say with my experience with the centrifugal supercharger on my M3. That the power doesn't really deliver until high RPM.
