Hey everyone. I`m looking to get some more power out of my 2005 4.0L TJ. I`ve been lookin at the banks power pack which consists of a header, headpipe assy., exhaust, and cold air intake. I`ve also been lookin into the edge products trail jammer kit. If anybody has some suggestions I`d love to hear them. Thanks

you won't really get much more power out of the 4.0L. That stuff you listed may give you an extra 10 hp or so but it's all up in the higher rpm's which is not much good for everyday driving.
I used to have a cold air intake and it did nothing for power.........sounded cool though. The downside of cold air intakes is that the open cone filters are not good if you ever go wheeling and get into mud/water.
If you want noticable additional power out of that motor, you're looking at either a stroker or forced induction of some kind (i.e. turbo or supercharger)........none of which are cheap options.

Jet chip, how much horsepower will that give my jeep? will it cause any problems? and how much do you want for it?
The problem is that my jeep is an everyday driver as well and from time to time I take it outta town and on the highway it's a little sluggish and also with the bigger tires it hurt my fuel mileage. I'd like to give the ole girl just a little boost.
And Jay keep dreamin, square headlights are gay lol jk

Also does anyone know about the Edge Products Trail Jammer kit. It says it adds 20% power to your motor and I've chatted with a few people on the net and they say it does give a noticable differance to power and fuel millage.
