Supercharger

[Kelli25]

Can anyone tell me if there is a supercharger that works for a 2012 Ram 5.7?
I know beggars cant be choosers, but maybe someone that knows for sure could answer. Please? Ive heard quite a bit of different info on this subject and Im very confused. I have spent hours trying to find something online. As well as hours searching forums to get a straight answer and I havent yet.

So in other words, could i walk into a shop that does this kind of work and say, "I would like the blabla (insert brand name here) supercharger installed please" Or would they just look at me like I was crazy and tell me "uhh, there isnt one"?

Thanks in advance yall!

you can use the same superchargers as the 09-11 but i dont think companies have tuning for the 12's since the codes just came out so you might need a custom tune. but otherwise a direct bolt on. ripp has a kit, magnacharger, procharger.

Which kind of supercharger are you looking for?

 

[Kelli25]

Twin Screw if possible.

But anything that will work at this point honestly.

Like said above, the supercharger kits for the 09-10's will fit, but tuning has not been released just yet. We do have a few 2012 members that are working with tuners to get this together, so hopefully it is available soon.

Thank you sir.

So when I hear about custom tunes for my truck, this only goes so far? I guess Im confused by the fact that people are saying that the Trinity does custom tunes, but that I cant get tuned with a supercharger. How can that be?

There are tuners available for my truck right? Bully Dog and Trinity correct? And the Bully Dog is caned tunes, but the Trinity does canned and custom? But not custom enough to tune with a supercharger?

Sorry for all the questions. I guess I have some information confused.

Thanks for all the help. Its very appreciated.

You are correct. You can get a custom tune for your truck for the basic N/A mods, but the boost maps have not been released yet for a custom tuner to be able to dial in a supercharger. This is in the works though, so hopefully we aren't waiting much longer.

Go ahead and buy a trinity to play with since without it there is no cracking the computer anyways

Oh wow. I wasnt expecting any of what I said to be right. Hahaha. Thank you for the info! So in other words, No would be the answer. Since a supercharger is essentially worthless without tuning alongside it.

Thanks so much for the help!!

Arrington Performancd can tune for 2012's right now. That's who is doing mine.

Please let me know how that goes. As far as I know, there isnt anyone else in america that can tune a supercharged 2012. If they do a good job, I will go ahead and get myself a supercharger.

Where are you located?

 

[UNBROKEN]

Arrington is one of if not the best there is. Dodge released all tuning parameters to them and one other shop at SEMA last year. There's a reason they picked them.
They have 100% access to the ECM and tune high power Hemis daily.

The Ripp supercharger kit is the one I've heard most about

They're in Virginia. You send your ECM to them.

The Hennessy kit is just a Magnacharger kit. You also have RIPP and Procharger but Procharger is a tuner only kit where you supply the injectors and tuning.
Look on shophemi.com...there's pretty much all the options on there. Any kit from 09^ will bolt on....tuning will be specific to your year model.

Pro charger sells a kit with tuning I do believe or at least they did the last time I checked

 

[UNBROKEN]

Not for 2012's they don't.
I know...I just bought one.

 

[scHemi]

Ah ok
