Default What under the hood upgrades are a must?

So I've been doing a lot of cosmetic work, now I'm wondering what I could do to make my WJ look and perform better under the hood? I always see chrome air intake upgrades on eBay. I want better fuel efficiency and I want it to look impressive when the hood is up. Any ideas? V8 hemi.

being easier on the skinny pedal will net you more results than anything you can bolt to a stock properly tuned up engine.

a true cold air intake will deffinitly help a ton if you can get it like up in the cowl, or snorkle. you dont want one hanging low by the bumper because it destroys the jeepability.

A proper tune up, easy driving, and properly infalted tires will help in fuel economy.
