My wife's Jeep GC (4.0L) is running Stock Exhaust System w/MagnaFlow
Muffler, SplitFire Plugs, MSD-6 Ignition Box, K&N Drop-In replacement
filter, and SuperUnleaded Gas. I can still easily "walk her" after 3rd
gear...but she's still pretty quick. Can you modify the TB, i'm sure you
can but couldn't tell you how (haven't tried it yet). Check out the Jeep or
Offroad mailing lists. Although I haven't seen anything worth it on the
Offroad Digest though.

>From what i've heard/found, you can get a supercharger for them that, if
done right, can put a 5.2L to shame. Jet also makes a Stage-II chip and you
can easily change the gears to something more "racey"...4.10's or higher.
(Cheaper than our Daks as well.)
