I would have but I couldn't catch him!

I'm kidding but I am looking for a little more throttle response. Maybe a chip of some kind would help? Any thoughts?

Invite him out rockcrawling.

Pricey but yes. I have had my SC for three weeks now and no longer get passed unless I allow it.

People ask me to race cuz i used to have a 07 mustang fixed up fastest car ive owned...but now im in a jku and they ask to race it so i tell them ill race but i pick the track. Im now undefeated and their cars now have bumps and dents on them from bein so low. Jeeps arent fast...but they are great off road and they are convertables for the ladies then when you take them out offer to get the door for her and just remove it lol

Don't get me wrong I love my jeep. Sure beats the hell out of the last thing I was driving. 98 dodge stratus!

Also this is the first car I've ever purchased. I'm just looking for a little more vroom. Supercharger might be overkill but id love an exact replica of mine with the pentastar in it....maybe in a few years.

I'm going to look in to speed mods now. If it were an airplane I'd be smoothing out those rivets...

So, what's the best bang for the buck for horsepower? It's an 08 2dr on 35" w/ 4". I need a regear I know but anything else? Anybody turbo'd these things?
