Supercharger or replace it with a hemi. Almost nothing else seems to make a difference.

Change gears for the apperance of more power.

Stickers ....Lotsa "Nawz" stickers LOL.

Seriously this has been beaten to death and searches will reveal an awful truth. HOWEVER Gears will make life easier (Not "Make power" but make better "Use of Power") on the go pedal, A flashpaq and possibly an exhaust. Even then when you look @ gain Vs. Wallet = it makes the JK manageable to drive on real world public roads and not a Mopar test track.

Marketing really is amazing. TB spacers are the BIGGEST waste of money as far as performance is concerned. They come from the carburetor days. You used a piece of (I'm gonna butcher the spelling) phenollic to insulate the carburetor from the engine thermodynamically. I am not going to go into more detail save to say, forget about it, they are pointless. Do a little research elsewhere than a site that promotes them.
