Uhhhhhhhhhhh?????????

 

Um

 

Hey Welcome aboard! We're more into the offroading aspect of Jeeps here so not sure if we'll be of much help to ya. A really good site to check out though for your type of needs is here http://forums.jeepsunlimited.com/cgi-bin/ju/Ultimate.cgi?action=intro and goto the SpeedFreaks forum, you'll find A LOT of good info there. Good luck!

 

Welcome to the board! As athlonaj stated we are more into the off-road aspect of Jeeps, but you have a killer speed freak there with the 5.9 limited! My next "Street Jeep" will be one of those, the prices have finaly come down enough to afford one, but they are still very scarce! I hope we can help, but since not many Jeeps came with the 360 Dodge motor, you might also try the Dodge Trucks page on this board for performance tips for your engine. Good luck, and keep it safe!

I'm all with smokin on this one. Do it. Any fast car is a good car. We probably can't help you much for your application, but feel free to ask questions. Most of us have the general stuff down. Some of us have a little more.

Geee, maybe that's why they call it "OFF-ROAD.COM"......

Notice the sarcasm there???? I had a bad day at work, only to come home and find this post at the top of the list. I musta done something terribly wrong to be treated like this!

High performance parts are hard to come by with my application.

No they're not! My 5.2L ZJ with just a Flowmaster exhaust and K&N will eat most rice burners for lunch. Only exception are the turbochargers and superchargers.

Mopar Performance has some great, albeit expensive, parts for the 5.9.

Why are you looking for a new intake manifold? You have a great FI setup, I hope you're not changing to a carb. Have your intake ported and the restrictions removed at a machine shop, same with the heads. A nice cam, some roller rockers and a set of headers and free-flowing exhaust will come in quite handy. A mild NOS kit works well in these applications too. Liquid horsepower is the cheapest and most effective way to make power in any vehicle. You'd have to have your computer modified or get a Stage 3 JET chip or the Mopar computer.

Someone posted a video a while back of a ZJ smoking big-block Corvettes and a Mustang in the 1/4 mile. I think the time was 12 seconds.

not to flame your post... an intake doesnt mean going to a carb... it means possibly going to a cone filter. and NOS, most likely you dont NEED a new chip or computer, and in many vehicles thats not even an option. the chip for nos will just retard the timing a little. "liquid HP" isnt the best, it will probably kill your engine early, but a benefit is that its not always on. anywho, i'd be interested to see what the 5.9 can do. ive seen a supercharged one at the track, and WOW!

i like jeeps... i've had my share of them

So which one is it?

You'll see more power with a chip. There is one available for your application.

NOS gives you the most HP for your $$$. Find me another $600 modification that goves you 100+HP and I'll eat my words. When used PROPERLY, nitrous will NOT destroy an engine. Yes, the engine will wear more with nitrous, but you're racing it. That alone is enough to make your engine not last as long as a street driver.

The 5.9 is a great engine, you'd be surprised as to what it can do on the street or the strip.
