Best bang for the buck: Modified Throttle Body (and exhaust).

My wife's '94 Jeep GC (4.0L) gets up and scoots pretty quick for being
100% bone stock...they're quick. :)

Subject: DML: Speed tweaks -- getting the most out of a Magnum V6?

DML, my friends,

Made a few posts before, but basically I'm asking what are some of the
best ways that I can get some speed out of my 3.9L Magnum V6. I'm
looking for throttle response and acceleration, of course, more than top
speed. No performance engine controller exists (Mopar wise, anyway) for
the V6.

I own a Jeep Cherokee '93 w/ a 4.0L V6 that blows everything I've ever
seen off the line. I want to see if it's possible to fool the Magnum V6
into believing that it doesn't need to pull anything.

Upgrades I've done:

180 degree thermostat
AutoLite 3923 plugs w/ Mopar SuperConductor wires
New pro-flo air cleaner

Thanks DML, this is the greatest source there is.
