I have a '09 Jk 4-door 3.8l V-6cyl and want to put a supercharger in it. I have seen it on Xtreme 4x4 but they have an automatic and I have a stick shift. will I still get the same performance out of it?

you should get better performance. the RIPP Mods supercharger indicates that it gets about 30 more horsepower with a manual trans.

Excellent. Thanks for the info.
 I'm trying to get what I can for what I've got in this 09 JK V-6, without killing my bank account with a 5.7 Hemi. I'm thinking about also upgrading the exhaust, distributor, ignition coil, and installing a super-chip.  Have any suggestions?

Depending on what kind of performance you are after a supercharger could be overkill. they are great if you do a lot of highway driving but not as useful on the trail for low rpm stuff. if you are just looking for something to get rid of the throttle lag you can go with a Sprint Booster module. after that exhaust and air intake systems can be helpful.

It will be for mostly highway driving, but I do go 4-wheeling about 4 -5 times a year. I will check into the Sprint Booster too. thanks

I looked at the Superships Flashpaq Programmer and the Sprint booster module. I like both of them but the Sprint Booster seems like it would work better. What do you think.
