I would not waste my money on this product. This is only a 27.7 percent
gain for 4000K and only 65HP gain. With Vortech V-2, it is expected to gain
at least 40 percent to 45 percent. So with an expect minimum of 95 thru 105
and the extreme 117HP gain. I would think that the Whipple is not for the
semi-hemi 4.7.

Jeff, They faxed me Dyno results last week for the 4.7L, I have the fax at
home right now, but I believe they listed it as Dakota/Grand Cherokee, at
any rate, its the same engine.
On the fax they sent, they list HP gain was listed as 65 HP, and the torque
was listed at 65 Ft lbs. Doesn't matter, 65hp for 4 grand, I don't think
so, not in this life time!!
The only thing they have not developed is the headers/exhaust for the 4.7L.
I guess headers and exhaust will be another 4 grand since they'll probably
be worth 50 Hp, maybe??

I'm curious where these 65 H.P. specs are coming from for Kenne Bell S/C on
4.7L
I'm in process now of shipping my '00 CC 4.7 auto to K.B to be the test
mule for development of S/C kit and Header/exhaust kit., So how can result
be known.? I think we might be seeing results from 99 4.7 jeep. Don,t know
what difference there is from '99 to '00 engines. I'll let you know real
results when I get the truck back (a month without my truck!!) ($3000 +
shipping my truck from Fl to Ca)
