For starters, Welcome to the forum. Secondly, you bought a Jeep. Jeeps (Except the SRT8 Cherokee) were not designed for speed. Slow down, there's no need for those speeds unless you're a Jeepspeed Baja blaster.

cold air intake or header would be rendered useless with the purchase of a turbo.. maybe buy something that you wouldn't be tossing out with the next upgrade?

Lmao troll ived been driving a lancer evoamd trust me no camaro nor mustang is faster thant that. And i mispelled it its hughes and its an upgrade on the transmission helps the transmission put the gears in smother and get my rmps up quick. Were i live there is just sand so its better with something quick not only some good tires y good suspension and the locks. Most of you guys are stuped and well the other ones thank you for the advice.
