really the only thing you can do is add a free flowing exhaust and better flowing intake?TB. Neon injectors will give a bit better throttle response. Other than that the Renix 4.0 is hard/not worth the cost to upgrade. It simply wasn't designed as well as the later 4.0L engines.

This should give you a good idea what *can" be done with the intake

60mm bored TB from strokedjeep.com, upgraded multi-hole 19# fuel injectors, tune up (oil change, spark plugs/wires, cap/rotor, o2 sensor) custom downpipe without crease in it, replace cat if necessary, free flowing muffler, I prefer Magnaflow or aero turbine.
