I'm looking to get more power out of my 2001 xj. I was wondering if any of you guys have experience with cams, full exhausts, and intakes..
Putting a more aggressive cam in would be pretty sweet, but im having trouble finding the right one, and finding a list of other parts i would need to replace with it. I want this to be a reliable upgrade, so i need to know what other parts i need to replace in order to make it reliable. The intake and exhaust is pretty self explanatory, I have done tons of them on other vehicles.. what are some header companies you guys like for the 4.0's? And what intakes do you guys like? I've been told by my resident jeep fanatic friend that the aisin aw4 is quite capable of handling ~400hp (i would like some other opinions to back this up) so that doesnt seem to be a problem...not like i would be anywhere near that even with upgrades. torque>hp in my book, anyway. What are the capabilites of the aw4 for torque?
I know that's a lot of questions, and some of them probably make me sound like i dont know much (I do know my fare share about engines, just nos as much as i would like to about jeeps) heh... but any help would be nice!
thanks in advance
