Re: 4.0 L spark knock
Dale:
I would like to here more about your Avenger Supercharger. I have a 2k tj
and plan on a supercharger. I am increasing cooling (griffin radiator) - if
quadrtec will ever send it. Then header and exhaust. Then the supercharger.
Why did your pick Avenger?
Did you install yourself?
Any problems?
What's it like to drive?
Thanks - Allen
