Would a cold air intake actually help any with torque/ gas miliage

long answer short no. there are lots of posts on here about CAIs and the overall response is no.

all i really needed to know and what about the super 44? any torque added

 

[tommudd]

Not really
Its all mind over matter :happy175:

 

[03 JEEP KJ BIG BLUE]

nope but they sound good lol thats why i have one

 

[seabass1858]

Only real gain will come from gears
The 3.7 makes the power it makes and not much more
this was ,believe it or not, 1 thing that sucked me into
the VW
The 2.0T engine makes 200hp and 205lbft of torque
There is a porche/VW shop 30 miles from the house
that can do an ECM upgrade to pull 240hp+ and
235lbft+ of torque
It is amazing what you can do with a turbo or super charger
and a capable engine
it would be very cool to have a 250hp 2600lb compact SUV
that would give it more HP per LB of car than a mustang GT

Your best option for power is the B&G ECU flash. Google it....

Your best option for power is to drop another engine under the hood.
Or buy another vehicle with better aftermarket engine support.

Yup, same here with our 31's.

What do you need more horsepower for anyway?
Most people don't off road their Liberty's and the power
KJ's and KK's have is more than adaquate for everyday use.

 

[seabass1858]

Im looking at efficiency not more power

Whats involved in swapping out to 4:10 gears?
Super expensive? Available?

 

[seabass1858]

Costs $$$$.$$!
Do a search here, it's been covered recently.

A Pinion reset is a very good idea.
Works wonders for the trannies shifting as well.

setting gears sure does suck A$$ but its well worth it after you have 2 true tracks in and confidence that my wife wont loose control even with her lead foot in the pouring rain.

I loved the DTT up front when I still had IFS.Sadly it was a no-go for 35" tires but loving the ARB up front after getting used to it.The only thing that ***** is you have to engage the rear locker 1st before you can engage the front,sometimes I just want the front locked.
