Default 37s More Power Sugestions!!!!!!!!!

Heres the deal. Volant cold air intake, Superior 5.13 gears, 37" BFG KM2s 17" Procomp rims, Purejeep slides, 4" Teraflex Lift, 10LB Powertank.
I want a higher top speed. How can I get this. Exhaust? Headers? Programmers? let me know anything . I love to crawl but damn I gotta go over 80mph once in a while.

Did you go with a throttle body riser when you installed the Volant? I did both with my Airaid and love it.
Probably one of the chips out there, or the Hypertech programmer would be your best bet.

Depends on Budget...
Hemi is around 25-30 thousand... not to bad!

Hypertech about 380, headers and exhaust ?? always gives more power!

BTW, Your rig is great! Love those specs, enjoy it even below 80mph.

You should be able to hit 80 already. I have no problems in my unlimited.

Can the supercharger be used with a snorkel?

I can hit 80 but its not like its a passing 80. id like to be able to go from 70 to 85-90 to pass without maxin out the rpms. I think the Hypertech Max Energy Power Programmer sounds good for higher top speeds so ill prob go with that and the exhaust.

No power adder will do anthing about what RPM's you hit a certain speed. That's a function of your gear ratio. You should've went with taller gears. Low gears are for crawling, not the Indy.
