big three... tuner, cold air intake, exhaust. bu then again you drive a jeep...if you want fast...sell and get a sports car. but you could also re gear to 4.56 and that would help a TON!!

Cold air, header and exhaust is where you gonna wanna start. Those should give you around 20 hp total... if your lucky. Stroker kit will give you the best gains.
I have a full exhaust from dynomax and it sounds good and it felt like i had more power but who knows... your driving a jeep so its gonna be slow as **** no matter what.

Excuse my ignorance, but what does it mean to regear to 4.56's? Is this the rear diff ratio or something in the tranny?
