Performance upgrades
I have a CAI, TB spacer and exhaust... Don't bother with the spacer, all I found was that it made things less responsive. I will be taking mine off shortly. You will definitely notice a change with a CAI/exhaust, if not at the pump, than at least in the bottom end torque.
Either way, that's part of the fun... there is always craigslist for mods you don't like.

I found all the difference in my Throttle Body.
Eitherway, save your monies and regear off the bat.
Not sure how much more a programmer would help but this is a pretty decent dyno before and after.

I would definitely look into changing ALL fluids into synthetics, you may gain a couple horsepower there too.

My two cents: I have viper throttle body, superchips, exhaust, mopar cold air intake, 5.38s and its slow but ok. I do have a 4 door with 37s and rock hard everything ect. I'm thinking about doing the ripp header package with custom tune. I can't afford the SC. Mpg is crap, about 12 with an auto. Not much better on the freeway.
You have a lift, nice tires and wheels, heavy armor with awesome bumpers and recovery gear; but get crappy mileage and somewhat poor power.....
BUT you have a bada$$ Jeep and you know you love the looks from everyone as you drive it around.
People notice and as i have seen, they are jealous!
haha
I have a 1964 vw bug with a built turbo engine, i get about 4 mpg on 107 leaded fuel- lots of power but a pain in the ass to cruise and drive around in, but people are surprised and love it.
Makes it worth it....

. All items done CAI, Exhaust and Body Spacer combined yielded the following results.- 7% increase in horsepower [Calculation: ((147-137)/137)*100] - Whoopy-do, hardly noticeable
- 34% increase in torque [Calculation: ((208-155)/155)*100)]-
! That is definitely noticeable, if true.

Picture it this way: a stock wrangler owner decides on these mods and a gear swap. They go from the stock 3.21's like myself, to a 4.10 or higher and these mods at the same time. It'll feel like a completely different vehicle.
