power and MPG
In your opinion what are/is the best modification(s) that I could do to improve power and the mpg of my 4 door?
I've considered CAI. Is one better than the others?, and a cat back exhaust and maybe even a JET performance chip.
Currently have only replaced the wheels with 15 X 8 mickey thompson's and 33 X 12.50 procomp mudterrain tires. New bumpers are planned as well as rock rails.

More power....swap in a Hemi
More mpg....sell JK, buy Prius
No, seriously though. I'm trying to achieve the same and have heard mixed reviews on CAIs, throttle body spacers, exhausts, chips, etc. I've only seen a couple of threads where people have had their jeep dyno'd after each mod. Then I've heard people say the same mods were worthless. After all the searching, I think I concluded that I just have to see for myself.

Select the tire size you plan run and stay with. Re-gear your differentials according to the tire size selected. CAI, chips and cat-backs do add a little power, but they can never recover from the added parasitic drag and weight created by the larger tires, lift and the additional aftermarket components.
MPG........Its a Jeep, we are not in the fuel efficient category by design.
