Default 4dr or V8

Been giving some thought to two options
Buy a 4dr and then mod it out very simular to the way I have my 2dr set up and stay with the stock engine OR keep the 2dr and put a hemi in it.
They both sound like good options and would probably spend about the same $$$ out of pocket which ever way I went. You can see in my signiture what I have with my 2dr
What would you do?

Keep 2dr and go hemi
Go 4dr with stock engine and mod to match 2dr
To heck with it,, keep what ya got and save the cash

Get the 4D with a Supercharger. More bang for the buck.

The only thing that would concern me about the Hemi is the extra costs you may accumulate by replacing parts that may not withstand the added power if you're a little heavy footed. Of course if you have the money for the Hemi it probably doesn't matter anyway.
I personally think the hemi is a little too much for the jeeps purpose but that's just me. "You will keep the one you have and save your money." I say as I'm waving my hand. Of course if you don't have a weak mind that won't work.

A Hemi is in No Way worth the $$. If youre engine blows up with no warrenty, maybe then i could see just doing a used Hemi. But when you look at the numbers a super charger is Way cheaper and puts up about the same as the Hemi. Good luck either way you go!!

^^^ have to agree, pull all the 2 dr aftermarket parts off and place on the 4dr and add gears & a Supercharger if you have $$$ to spare. Hemi is great but spendy!!!

Ditto - the blower starts and $3995.95 and installs is 5hours without the intercooler - Hemi power for less than half the price - You could probably have it all...

Lol, this was going to be my suggestion too, but he didn't list it as an option.
