Mark, with the JLT CAI & SCT Tuner I am getting about 35 more miles per tank over stock. This is primarily 85% city and 15% highway (Oh BTW I never shift into 5th). These results are with 89 & 93 octane gas. Its been a while since I have been on a trip of all highway but before the cai & tune I was averaging 28 mpg with a/c on and 8 mph over the speed limit with cruise control on in 5th gear.

To me its not worth the negative equity to add on to your current payment, not worth dealing with the 2.73 gears, the 4.0 sounds better with duals IMO.

I recommend getting the JLT CAI & SCT Tuner and keep what you got.

I like your idea. I feel that if I cannot get a good trade in value and deal this summer then this may be an alternative. Although I wasn't looking to go any farther with mods on my 4.0 because of the lack of stock horsepower. 95 horses is kind of a big deal to me, and i feel that with a 3.7 I would mod it without second thought. And although my exhaust sounds good now i have to say i like the Borla ATAK duals on the 3.7.
