I thought I would post some feedback on the GSM supercharger. I must warn everyone of a few things:
1. I have not had a chance to DYNO yet. My mechanic called and said it was up and running so he asked if I could swing by after work. It is being sent to a 4w DYNO hopefully this week.

2. I did not take it out for a car and driver intensive drive. It was a short trip.

3. My Jeep has the following mods: ported intake, heads, headers, boomers exhaust, and supercharger.

That being said Here is my story:
First off, let me say that the sound itself is worth the money. I'm not kidding. The headers make such a difference it's not funny. The install is clean - VERY CLEAN. You hardly notice that shiney charger on the side! I must say GSM did a very nice job.
POWER - what can I say, ridiculous, just ridiculous. I had to keep reminding myself that this is a jeep and not a "car". The power comes on very strong and it launches like a missle. If you thought that this thing launched hard stock, slap the SC on and you will see how hard it can launch. As the power builds you can't help but get excited about the sound as well. Bottom line, the power is night and day compared to stock.

I can honestly say, if anyone is considering this mod do not hesitate. I'm not trying to sound like a GSM cheerleader, this is my first experience with them, but I have to say they have delivered on everything. I did notice some posts on the board about frustrations with GSM. I had some in the very beginning myself (call backs, etc.). My advice is to deal direct with SCOTT. He made my experience much much better and delivered on everything.

I also have to give a big thumbs up to the heads and header package. If you have the means, get it.

I'm crossing my fingers for Oct 7th at Englishtown. I hope I will have it tuned by then. We'll see. Once I get more time in the driver's seat I will post again.

Oh, I am also getting the TCM mod as well. I think it is needed badly. Scott if you read this please don't forget me! Send it ASAP!

Hope this helps. BTW - this is not my first experience with fast cars. I've had just about everything from TT supras to Modded Vipers - so I have an idea of what fast is.

Don't know about them, only me. Maybe I'll sing a different tune later, Who knows. All I do know is that if I sat around being afraid to take chances in life knowing it may not always go well, I would never be where I am today.

ResumeSpeed What are you talking about????5 or 6 people put on the SC and wasted there engines???This is the first I have heard of this.Can you please elaborate?When ever I call GSm I always deal with scott and the customer service is 2nd to no one.I have had a coupple delivery issues with them,(no big deal at all)but Scott corrected it and more than made up for it.I really want to hear about the 6 guy's that wasted there engines by adding the SC.Please do tell!!

What about the 5 or 6 people that have recently ended up with wasted engines after installing the GSM supercharger? That would be the LAST mod I would ever consider, coupled with GSM's non-existent customer service I would run the other way!

yep more info... haven't heard of any and i bet most the site hasn't either...

:confused: Something smells fishy around here

well damn.... might wanna watch out for that

We have over 1000 superchargers installed in the last 2 years.

In the last year we have been featured in motor trend 2/06 road and track 5/06, trailer life(good sams hemi ram) tuned on regular 87 octane 8/06, street trucks 439 rwhp ram tech article 9/06 and Hot Rod tech build up 714 hp 5.7 10/06

You can blow up anything supercharged or not....

you can also run your car with in two inches of its life and always find someone to blame, the post on the customer mentioned was happy with the kit but had many "other" mods that affected the "tune" of the vehicle

We design and provide a pre calibrated our ecu, we can not be responsable for added mods with little or no tuning, we have added a dedicated tuning support package for any one that wants to go wild and needs tuning support

The Jeep Supercharger kit rocks and is our most OEM kit to date.

Dyno's and track times coming this week

The Jeep sounds like a beast. The reality is that with any vehicle or mods the chance is always there that something could go wrong. You have to know when enough is enough or be willing to pay the price. The SRT Jeep community should be greatfull that people like GSM are around to develop parts for your vehicles. When the 5.9L Jeep was out everything had a be custom fabricated because nobody did anything for them...only the Dodge products. I don't have an SRT Jeep just yet but I will be getting one once I move and the GSM Supercharger will be first on the list.

PS. Get that Jeep to the track! I want to see some 1/4 mile vids :)

That's got to be J.H. in disguise. Scott and two other people had the S/C's on their jeep as of last week. What's this non-sense this guy is spreading. If you don't have any FACTS to post, then DON'T POST.

What are the "many mods" that you are referring to, all I saw were headers and a catback. That was just ONE of the engines. What about the others, have all the failures been due to people having additional mods put on, and I presume installed after the SC was installed? Sorry, I don't buy the "additional mods" excuse.

"We need internal parts that can handle the pressures of forced induction, and a way to properly tune our cars to keep them from leaning out. Until then a S/C is a frivolous investment. GSM should have really done some research before releasing this to market. Some may hate Hennessey, but at least he KNEW you had to reinforce the internals before adding any type of forced induction!!!" - Bandit

What is GSM's opinion on the necessity or not of reinforced internals? And has GSM successfully cracked the ECU codes on the Jeep to acquire proper fuel control?
This is my side of the fence :D

And the point is?

Well you said 5-6 people had blown their engines already when there's only been three Jeep GC's with GSM Blowers out there.

Whos post are you referring to?
Your's [edit -- ekool -- content removed as it is inappropriate. If you cant have a discussion in a civil manner, you dont belong on this site]

Have you even bothered to read the threads per this topic on the other forums?
I have read the threads on the other forums and you just seem to want to bash GS Motorsports.The one motor that you are talking about that did in fact blow was not on a JGC SRT8 is was a 5.7 liter motor.And GSM did not in any way shape or form blow off the customer like you said.There is ALWAYS 2 sides to the story and you seem to be stuck on the one that wants to hurt GSM instead of the truth.When the SC was shipped out for the 5.7 High Horsepower Performance were the people that did the install NOT GSM,although GSM did recomend the place.If you notice when you get your SC there is a sheet of paper with a skull and cross bones that says DO NOT use SuperChips or JET performance chips as it increases timing and leans out the fuel mixture.For one reason or another the people at HHP and or the guy that ordered it either did not see it or ignored it.This was the reason the motor was blown, I believe it was the # 6 piston.GSM offered to replace the SC but there was NOTHING wrong with it.The people over at HHP offered to replace the entire motor and have a Chrysler dealer do the work to make sure everything was 100%.Since HHP was covering the cost of the motor they also felt the the customer should be responsible for the labor, so they aggreed that he would pay for the labor.Since then,the customer has a brand new motor in his car and refused to pay HHP the money they paid out to the dealership for the repair.SO looks like HHP got stuck with the bill.Now can you please tell me how GSM and there SC F$#ked this guy and as you said"totally blew him off"? It doesn't look like GSM are the bad guy's to me.You decide,although you already made up your mind.I just don't want other people believing your BS.Before you go out and try to hurt someones living and there credibility learn both sides of the story.

[QUOTE=ResumeSpeed]What are the "many mods" that you are referring to, all I saw were headers and a catback. QUOTE]


I talked to Josh at HHP today and recieved some very intresting information on the mods installed on the 5.7 car


We have a very specific warning on using the Superchips programer or chips

we clearly state ths may cause engine failure


The customers car had installed a superchips programer period


We print the warning for a reason, superchips programers and jet chips increase timing and lean out the fuel curve the superchips programers also give the user the option to raise the rev limiter and speed limiter


rev limiter raised

increased ignition timing

leaner fuel curve

Shoot, all I wanted to do was to give people some real life feedback. I'm sorry I did. My truck should be tuned and dynoed thurs or fri (hopefully). Should I even bother posting the results? Are people going to be fighting over this as well?

[QUOTE=GSM]
Was the chip installed AFTER GSM installed the Supercharger? And why has GSM never responded to the multiture of posts on this issue?

What about the other cases of blown engines that the LX thread is referring to? Are these all the result of owner misuse and abuse?
GSM DID NOT DO THE INSTALL!

PLEASE DO!!! This resumespeed guy is <edited by admin--- again keep it CIVIL, which means no name-calling>

I also agree who ever resume speed is should either prove 6 blew up or shut up Prove what you say or keep your mouth shut. LX forams won,t let me in on your sight as proof there is 6 that blew up.

I very much appreciate the information you have been posting.

Thank you.

The funny thing is anyone can say anything. Just as what was put on here about JH, reps can be distroyed with just no proof as to what is being said I believe it could even be called slander. For the most part the the old saying if you can't say something nice keep your mouth shut . Prove what you say or keep quiet

And who is in the right when you have no intintions of doing anything. but make trouble with out offering any proof. Why should we just believe anything you want to say Simply said offer the proof.

That's better than being deaf, dumb AND blind...

You have put a lot of energy into making certain statements.

Forum members have asked you for proof.

How much time and effort can that involve?

E.g., just say on forum xxx, post number yyy, user zzzz stated that his engine blew up because of qqqqq.

If you don't do that, then in my opinion, you are just wasting everyone's time.

Can't wait for the Videos of GSM's weekend! Please post them ASAP

We will be posting video's and dyno sheets this weekend, but the 1/4 mile track is booked for a nhra sportsman event...ugh

so we will try and get back to the 1/8 mile tonight and see what we can do...


Scott

Scott,

do you realize what is going on the forum about GSM?

We are all waiting for you to post a feedback !!

Thanks
