I have the Bwoody CAI so far. It's good for up to a 18hp gain and 2-3mpg increase....that is if you can keep you foot out of it.

I am waiting for the 2008 Trinity or Predator to come out...both by Diablosport.

Kooks headers and Borla S and 180 T-stat are next on the list.

[PALELLA]

Here's my list....

Engine/trans...

HHP Stage II kit (heads, cam, headers, ported intake, 2800 stall)
BWoody intake
180 t-stat
Borla S (soon to be replaced by a better system)
Renntech built transmission

Exterior/other...

HID fogs
BWoody sway links
BWoody SS brake lines
Dashawk computer
Flushed out side moldings
Tinted tails

I should be up about 150 hp/tq with those mods. I will hit the dyno in the spring to see for sure.

I am specifically interested in attaining better gas milage.

Has anyone confirmed a mod that truly improves milage?

What hwy milage are people seeing? (say at 70 mph)

[911-AL]

I wonder how the supercharged one's perform.

[Autoscope]

Here's the 411...

I had an 08, it dyno'd 380/377 with Bwoody 3.5 intake/Res. Delete....I started the Tuning process....Custom CMR Dyno Tune-399/388...

The car was a beast. I loved the "perks"...
-Bluetooth
-DC Outlet
-40 Gig Hard Drive
-Rear View Camera
-RES
-3000 Stall
-MB AMG Tranny
-German Heads
-Brembo's
-Bilstein's
-6.1 Hemi

ALL OF THIS IN A Off Road Jeep...which I did take to my ranch every weekend!

I love the car. It was VERY fast 0-80...I think my 0-60 (at full stall) was 3.5ish....

BUT- Horrible MPG
-Ate Tires
-Transfer Case sucked
-It was still a Jeep.....

It was my first Jeep product, I wasn't very happy with the Customer Service that "Jeep" had to offer. Otherwise, when or If I buy another one, it will be turned into a OFF ROAD MONSTER....

08 and up only FYI, I can't stand the 06-07 Interiors....

Good Luck, the guys on Cherokeesrt8.com will answer any questions....

A 6th gear would do wonders. I've heard that some of the basic mods help (intake, tune) but you're only going to get a few more mpg. I think your best bet is just accepting the fact that it sucks gas like none other.

[DC Performance]

The Jeep's are the best SRT8 models to modify as the all wheel really allows the power to be put to the ground.

Basic mods that really help are a CAI, Cat Back and Program. The biggest bang for the buck is the Vortech SC system (about 150hp gain).

Another nice upgrade is a spring kit and the Stoptech 4 wheel brake kit.

We are one of the few shops with an AWD Dynapack dyno and full tuning capability for the SRT line.

[911-AL]

150hp gain to all 4 wheels should feel pretty healthy

I get 16.5-17 highway at 75ish about 16 80 and above bone stock no mods

Thanks,

I wanted to know this info and will now verify myself as I just bought
an 07 with 2600 miles.

I will keep it stock unless something would improve the milage substantially

What about Cat removal?

[nijoma]

I had a srt that was supercharged lousy mileage but one hell of a car! I then removed the supercharger and did heads/cam/and custom tune, much more low end torque but mileage down the tubes. Best bet is CAI and diablo tuner and leave the rest alone. Vic
