Getting my 2014 R/T Supercharged
Was down to Ripp Superchargers today so that they could check out the spacing inside the engine bay, and it appears that it will be a very easy conversion to get the kit they will be releasing for the WK2 Grand Cherokee to fit inside the Durango. Very excited! They will be calling me in about 2 weeks to bring my Durango in for work. Hoping to see the dyno charts of the wk2 jeep they have the prototype in already.

that is a very good question, i'm not even sure if he has a final price on it yet, i can only look at the other offerings and make a guess at it.
the 5.7L Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited that he had his prototype installed in looked like it was ready to go soon. But i might be the first 2014 Durango Hemi owner getting one done! Can't beat finding a place thats 2.5 miles from home.

It was around 5K or so for the RAMs. I assume they will be utilizing the Diablo Trinity for your tuning needs? RIPP makes a great kit and what I like most about it is how well they perform under load towing.
Just a side note, I would go to a new gear set and get the most out of it and maybe a more aggressive torque converter. Be prepared in the event the transmission doesn't do so well with the additional power/strain.

I thought about this, but I don't want to mess it up. I'm not sure the transmission and AWD system would handle the additional power. Plus, not sure if there is a 4-wheel dyno anywhere close...

i mean the 2014 has the same transmission as the bmw 750li/x5 and possibly some others with a stock rating of 445hp/480tq
then you have a known bmw tuner dinan that does work and offers warranties on everything for many years, tuning to ~500hp/580tq
not too sure i'd have to worry about blown trannies just yet.
