I'll probably keep the stock blower on for awhile and just add a CAI and cooling mods if any mods to the engine go on for awhile. Just lower it and put on the IRS brace with next exhaust and wheels and tires to get it rolling. If they close another offroad area around here I might sell the 02 wrangler that is me and dad's project for some extra cash...using as a 75% offroad and if no places to wheel in a hour's drive, then why keep modding and keep it? I don't know what to do...I'd like to get one under 50k miles that is near stock and adult driven. Found some good deals on them, but not sure yet what we will do.

 

People must have forgotten that I am 21 also, haha...

 

Why dont you just build the **** out of your motor? You already have alot of money invested in your car with the whipple n all.

 

Happy Birthday early, DO ET!!!

 

Well that would be about 3k for parts, then labor and tuning which would come out around 5-6k and I'd rather get a cobra which sounds better, can have the same power for less, looks better, and just feels better to me (sat in one at a dealership when we were shopping around)...plus I want a new project lol

 

boo, i want a new project too.... but im in the SINGLE CAR GARAGE club...

 

We've got a 2 car garage at the house and the jeep just stays outside I've been thinking and I'm thinking about the Stage IV port on the stock eaton with a CAI and if I want more power I can go to a KB later on and already have the supporting 60lb injectors and everything...I'd first do the cooling mod(s), springs, tires, wheels, and IRS though...and later the KB...

 

imo how much of a power increase you're gonna see going from a whippled s197 to a termi (KB/Whippled), the s197s have a huge aftermarket and can be made to look sick, yours already looks pretty good, imo i'd just further mod yours.

 

I've been thinking that too, but if I find a good deal with a Cobra then I'll go with it. I hate it that the internals on mine are cast and not forged...and also that the rods are tooth brush handle sized

 

I would just go with a Cobra...

But just to stir the pot, we got a guy at the shop with a 2005 GT. Over a year ago, we installed an HO Whipple Kit @ 12 psi.. He put down 500rwhp on the rollers on the stock engine, and his car has been running strong for close to two years. The 3v 4.6's are SIGNIFICANTLY stronger than the old 2V 4.6's. The only thing that he has gone through are a couple of input shafts, lol...
