Just got my 2010 jeep grand Cherokee. It's nice but lacking HP. What are things I can do to increase torque + HP, maybe even fuel economy? If that's even possible.

Open to all ideas! And I appreciate the thought and help!

put a v8 in it....but simple add ons wont net you any real noticable differences, its just a fact of life...u could always hop on the CAI bandwagon, lots of people run them

Should have baught the V8 lol well u can get whatever bolt ons that are available for it cold air intake/exhaust, im sure theres some kind of programmer avail for it as well. Or u could throw 4-6K into it for a super/turbo charger. Simple bolt ons will only give u so much gain it wont really be THAT noticeable tho.

War Eagle

this is true...my best advice is to learn to be happy with the stock motor setup and spend money elsewhere on your vehicle

papaj

Agreed, and more power and better fuel economy doesnt go too well in the same sentance lol

If I were to put on a CAI and an exhaust, how much HP would that bring me too extra? 30 maybe? Or less?

Thnx for all the advice, if I were to put a cold air intake and an exhaust, how much added horse power or torque could I expect to gain?

I don't see why your looking for a ton of hp in a 2010 GC? Just doesn't seem right but. As stated I would so dual flowmasters k and n cold air. Maybe upgrade injectors and throttle body spacer or bored. If you even can on a 2010. Get a super chip tuner and that will make a huge difference.

intake on my 3.7 did absolutely nothing. gonna do an exhaust too i think and see if it makes a difference

[quote=Jcal32;1327429]less, id say around 10....good horsepower isnt cheap. and rather than drop a ton of money on a K&N CAI, id just make a homebrew, its so simple and requires very little tools, there are tons of threads on them. as far as exhaust, i am not sure on the newer ones, but probably just changing out the muffler would be your best money/power ratio, but that could be wrong?

as far as chips go, you will also probably notice a minimal difference, its not like these motors are being tuned down that much from factory like a 7.3L diesel is, in which case the chip can really bring out some hidden torque.

First off its a grand cherokee... Not a cherokee... Lol... I should gi fix your title... Its offending... Lol... Craigslist people do this all the time and drives me nuts searching... Lol

Lol a grand Cherokee is still a Cherokee lol. It's just grand lol.
It's a 2010. Not like there is another Cherokee model to het it confused with.
Thanks for contributing to the thread

Grand cherokees are pretty much completely different ride... Lol... Try finding a 93-01 cherokee on CL youll get a ton of grand cherokees which is not what your looking for lol... thats like the confusion between "jeep" and "wrangler" they are not the same thing... Lol

huntingman2706217

Oh and it is possible to have a 2010 cherokee... there is a guy with a 97+ comanche around here... And legally titled as such... Cherokees went till like 07 in china and there could be one here somewhere! Lol
