No. Nobody can give you that assurance. It's entirely possible to build a stable, reliable machine. But if you're going to venture into the realm of pulling significantly more hp out of the motor than it was originally designed to take, you take your chances.

Off CobraMarty's website of course!

an ls swap is always an option, ls motors have just as much longevity as the 4.0 and is availible in many different displacments power. fairly easy as far as engine swap go

im doing an ls 5.3 from a tahoe in my jeep right now

My young friend when up the power adder in one place it ALWAYS requires more parts because the engine was not designed for it.


I learned many yrs. ago HP and speed cost money none are cheap in the long run you will pay for it. If CHEAP is of much importance stay stock.

I'm a student, I'd like to save if possible, but i definitely want to do something extra to my jeep. I don't want to stay stock. However I don't want the absolute top of the line supercharger that is going to cost much more than I'd get out if it is all. Thanks

A supercharger that will work with your engine can be acquired easily for under $100. The issue is that the tuning side of things costs around $500 to $600

Alright, my next dumb question. Will any supercharger work? Or does it have to be a specific supercharger?

you guys need to be way more descriptive with your advice. the op is on a budget and knows nothing about this subject. does anyone live close enough to lend a hand...and checkbook? that way you can do the research, buy the parts and install them. then it's a win-win.
