  An open element air filter will help it to breathe, and improve throttle
response. ($120 for a K&N FIPK, or about $70 if you homebrew your own with
an aftermarket can and a K&N filter) A cat-back exhaust (about $250) will
get you some additional HP and torque. The Mopar Performance computer
(about $250) will help quite a bit too, although you have to run at least
92 octane if you use the computer. Yes, there is a speed limiter; its set
at about 115mph. The MP computer will eliminate it though.
