Default Ridgeline Performance

Hey guys,

My dad just bought an 06 ridgeline and he likes it, but he traded in his Dodge Ram 1500 Hemi and really misses the performance. Is there anything (supercharger, intakes, exhaust, chips) that he can do to boost performance? Where would we go to look?

Thanks in advance

Do you want good fuel milage, or awesome performance?

If your going to be adding a supercharger, why sell the Hemi?

Yea no kidding. I imagine he got rid of it because of the gas mileage, but a s/c is going to drop it right back where it was.
I've seen reports of a K&N air filter making marginal improvements.

you actually can gain mileage with a supercharger.

i did on my crx, as did many jackson racing owners.


of course, if you have one, your foot is in the pedal all the time...... decreasing mileage. but if you drive like normal, you can gain a few mpg.
