@SuperNerd256
We've used them so much they have just been over used. We like the idea of having the gears closed in too. We wont have to worry about getting chips in the gears anymore.
A supershifter is just the AM Gen1/2 with an added stage of gearing. This is heavier and lower efficiency. I would suggest sticking with the Gen1/2 unless you have a good reason to swap like needing to direct drive a wheel. Even so you could make a custom transmission for that using wcproducts gears or better yet drop to a 3" wheel and you can run a stock AM Gen1 direct drive
