Ripp is thinking about a shop they can recommend. We've emailed back an forth.
They are the choice I chose.

I think when I said I wanted a world class 50mph to 80mph passing kickdown time(very practical) and not drag racing(very mid-life crisis on a Pac), it has perked up their ears a bit.
If they can't get find a shop interested maybe I'll at least become water-cooler/lunchroom/drunk speculation conversation until someone thinks its a worthy project.

I considered one. I'm sure it will be part of the blower upgrade if it happens.
I'm still a little unsold on pedal commander.
In my considerably sized head the pedal commander simply changes 3 inches of pedal travel vs acceleration to 1/2 inch of pedal travel vs acceleration and a small bit of added timing advance(I'm not even sure timing advance is really possible on our engines. What I don't know about modern engines represents the entirety of modern engines)
I'm sure I'm wrong on this pedal travel and am still checking value.

I just need a recommendation for a path/shop so I can get a blower installed.

It just dawned on me from what was said above:
My 2018 v10 ford has a parameter in the computer that disallows 100% throttle. It actually goes to just over 80% and stops. There is an odd value where you hold the pedal to the floor for 60 seconds while under load and it's almost feels as if carb secondaries(it's injected) kick in. A big whoosh sound comes in and it regrabs the transmission.
Has anyone ever really explored our computer settings?

Word from ripp;
They think it's overkill but will keep me in the oddity folder.

Can you imagine a blower builder ever saying overkill?

I'll not do the rabbit hole thing. Building the accessory drives will be intolerably hard (a guess). ****, it might just bolt up, but too many jeep guys throwing money at jeeps for shops to be bothered with anything more than r&r jobs.

Do you have any details or knowledge about how what and why about your blower?
I'm ready to proceed.

Go to Dealer Locator and then show up (don't call, they will not take you seriously) at the nearest procharger dealer. Expect to spend $10k. I don't know if the pacifica can even be tuned, which is what you would call an "obstacle."

We STOLE the Pacifica. All limited options except s, 8k old man miles.
A 35k check and my king ranch we were going to give away.

The 10k wouldn't fit had I bought it at retail.

The eletric blowers have gone from laughable to
Who'd a thunk it!
In the last few years.

I'll check into their progress and also do the drop-in visit you suggest.

EXACT reason provided twice in two different thread entries.

I considered the nitrous shot.
But by the time I purge and set, the opportunity to pass some stupid 15mph under the limit, mobile chicane GUMP will probably be missed.
I have a BlackBear tuned 500hp 8.1 big Block avalanche and a tuned zr2 blazer. ALL my vehicles(even the tractor) are modded to some extent. The king ranch we traded in on the Pac was full Coyote equipped and tuned.

The blower is easy.
The tune and drive pulleys are not.
I might buy an ecm and give it to a tuner as a jail break experiment to verify breakability and values.

My hope is that jeep values and parameters translate due to mopar money saving interchangability.
50mph to 85mph is my only interest.

This is sitting in my garage. I have a blower guy.

Fourth time in almost as many posts.
Passing speeds to counter 50mph goofs on 65mph two lane roads.
It is a regional thing.
And
I think we're dealing with some people who only read the topic headline.
I couldn't have been more clear...many times.
95mph and light towing was never mentioned. Fuel mileage is absolutely, laughably, no concern. No one said turbocharged. No one said family.

I didn't buy it as a mommy wagon.
I bought it as a basic base for my not basic mods and usage._
It's a carry all, that's all.




I'm out.
No usefulness for me to pursue it here.
Damnation!

A quiz:
Who knows the name of the Jethro Tull album which reflects more than one poster in this thread?

As I understand...stop dreaming....

I am not a novice who saw

then got the tattoo.
I've been at this since 1975.

Some of us here aren't particularly unknowledgeable, but particularly knowledgable enough to follow the path blazed by those who spent the research money, or not take the journey.

I'm smart enough to do the job, which makes me smart enough to hire a professional to do the job.

I've blazed enough paths. I'd like to follow one.

I don't know enough about ecm mapping to experiment.
It's my time in life, and the Pac is good enough as is, that I am happy to adopt;
