To be honest, for a couple of reasons. The truck Hemi 5.7 puts out 405 hp (higher compression--from what I'm told) than the Grand Cherokee 5.7 Hemi at 350hp; additionally it sounded like a good deal on a kit. $4,300 for the JSS kit compared to AEV's $6,350. Once I'm done compiling... I'm curious how much money is spent between the two kits after all the parts are really paid for.
If you notice on my spreadsheet.. the BOM list is pretty extensive and I'm not entirely sure that the JSS kit will come out cheaper after all is said and done. I can tell you, I haven't driven the Grand Cherokee Hemi... but the truck Hemi is crazy. I feel like my next upgrade should be rollbars.
I will tell you, I can guarantee you the AEV kit has better customer support.
