This isn't so much about what other people think of me or my vehicle. Yeah, its nice when people admire you and/or your wheels, but this is 99.9% because I want the experience of doing it and because it will provide me with a desired end result. I didn't post on this website to get acclamation...

Interesting you should mention staging it, I actually just broke some stuff down into stages last night before I left work, stages 1-3. The first and second stage are all the upgrades and goodies to adequately run a high-end engine and stage 3 is the engine components, supercharger, and work...

You are very right, it is overkill... I figure that If I'm going to do all of this, I want to do it big. Otherwise, I would have just gone with a low buck stroker and a cheapie suspension a year or two ago and called it a day, but the ambition in me won over. Depending on whether I go back to...

Thats good stuff, thanks.

Unrelated question..... you're going to laugh, and maybe scratch your head. Will K&N filter cleaner work on Airaid filters? They seem to both me made out of the same or a similar cotton mesh. Thanks.. because I just realized my cone is very overdue for a "recharge."

That is a good point, one that I have considered.. I was going to consult someone with a blower/stroker setup to see what they did for ecu and sensor issues. I'm almost positive the stock one won't handle it, at least I've heard that thrown around before that it won't.

Absolutely. I'd be happy do come down and check out all your setups. I knew there were some entheusiasts in the Vista area, and if I'm not mistaken, a JeepSpeed team or two races out of there, right? What time do you guys usually meet up? Tom

It brings a smile to my face when someone finally f**king gets, to some extent, what I'm trying to say.

No thanks. See: above. Building my own setup. Thank you for the offer.

Well, if you actually read my first post.. you would see that I said I don't know much about superchargers at all. However, I have read, repeatedly, that as long as you don't drive it like you stole it, a supercharger or turbocharger won't "kill" your gas mileage. I've read this in at least a...

The only problem with that solution is I'm pretty sure If I put a stroker setup in my engine and say, have a compression ration of 9 or 9.5:1 and THEN after the fact try to put a supercharger or turbo in, it will result in detonation. Anyone disagree?

Right. Otherwise, I guess I could just trade my jeep in for a nice Corolla.. or maybe a Hyundai. =o|

Okay, I don't need a supercharger or a stroker, that's true. But I don't need anything. I think you're missing the whole point here.

Not really, when you think about it. And I'm not rich at all. I make about $50-60k a year and my wife (when she's done with school) will make 40k+. Right now she makes 20ish. So thats a little short of $100k/yr when all is said and done. Also... spending $25k on a car is only for the rich? Come...

pecuz i am not into instant gratification, man. And now, in response to other posts that answered my questions with only other questions... haha, which is guess is the nature of internet forums, yes, this is more of a daily driver.. as i said in the first posting. And no, I obviously can't do...
