I AM TAKING A POLL-

PLEASE READ THE QUESTION AT THE BOTTOM AND VOTE.

2001 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT 2 WHEEL DRIVE 4.0L INLINE 6 CYLINDER

(60k Original Miles)

I am going to drive it until I get out of Law School and then I am going to rip out the engine and put in the badest thing I can find that will fit under the hood, along with the rest of the drive train.

I want to install the best handling high performace street suspension possible. It will definately have to be dropped in order to lower the center of gravity, so I can eliminate the role when cornering.

Accually I would be happy with anything over 300 horsepower.

Below is a list with photos of modifications I've already done:

17" WHEELS / 235/55-17 TIRES AA-TRACTION W-SPEED RATED(168MPH) 400 TREADWEAR

GABRIEL MAX CONTROL PERFORMANCE SHOCKS (INCREDIBLE INPROVEMENT OVER STOCK)

I HAVE OWNED 2 BRAND NEW CORVETTES AND 3 BRAND NEW 5.0 MUSTANGS OVER THE YEARS AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT SHE DOESN'T HANDLE AS GOOD AS MY CORVETTES BUT SHE DEFINATELY HANDLES AS GOOD AS MY MUSTANGS, AND I STILL HAVE THE STOCK SPRINGS AND SWAY BARS.

MY FIRST MODS OF 2009 WILL BE HEAVY DUTY PERFORMANCE SWAY BARS, POLYURETHANE BUSHINGS AND HEAVY DUTY COIL AND LEAF SPRINGS WITH A 2" DROP.

DUAL TO SINGLE EXHAUST:

HIGH PERFORMANCE 2.5" MAGNAFLOW CATALYTIC CONVERTER

2.5" EXHAUST PIPE WITH HIGH PERFORMANCE MAGNAFLOW MUFFLER AND STAINLESS STEEL TIP

ADDED 3" AIR INTAKE TUBE BEFORE AND AFTER HIGH FLOW FILTER. I USED THE STOCK AIR INTAKE TUBE AND THEN I GOT A STAINELESS TUBE FROM AUTOZONE AND CUT ABOUT 6 INCHES OFF THE END, THEN I CONNECTED IT TO THE STOCK ONE. THIS IS A GREAT LOW COST WAY TO UPGRADE YOUR AIR INTAKE. A K&N PERFORMANCE INTAKE SYSTEM WILL COST YOU ABOUT $250, MY SET UP ONLY COST $85. I REMOVED PART OF THE STOCK AIR FILTER BOX AND CUT A HOLE UNDER IT, THEN I RAN A 3" FLEX TUBE OUT TO JUST BEHIND WHERE FOG LIGHTS WOULD GO UNDER THE FRONT BUMPER, IT IS MORE OR LESS A FORCED RAM COLD AIR INTAKE.

I STILL HAVE THE STOCK THROTTLE BODY, THAT I AM GOING TO REPLACE WITH A NEW 62MM THROTTLE BODY, I ALSO ADDED A 2" SPACER

IN THE FRONT DOOR I INSTALLED INFINITY 5.25" 2 WAY REFERENCE SERIES SPEAKERS

IN THE STOCK ROOF BACK SPEAKER LOCATIONS I INSTALLED INFINITY 5.25" 2 WAY KAPPA SERIES SPEAKERS

I HAVE A PIONEER SUPER TUNNER III HEAD UNIT THAT IS CONNECTED TO A PHILLIPS MP3 PLAYER

JUST BEHIND THE DOOR MIRRORS I ADDED 1" TWEETERS BY KOLE AUDIO THAT ARE RUNNING OF THE HEAD UNIT

I BUILT AN ENLOSURE THAT IS ACTUALLY 3 SEPERATE SEALED ENCLOSURES.

THE MIDDLE IS .65 CUFT WITH A 10" ROCKFORD FOSGATE PUNCH STAGE 2 / DUAL VOICE COIL

250W RMS SUBWOOFER AT 4 OHMS

THIS IS THE FIRST SYSTEM I INSTALLED MYSELF

IN THE TWO SIDE ENCLOSURES I INSTALLED 2 KICKER KS690 2 WAY 6X9S 90W RMS

I HAVE TWO PIONEER AMPLIFIERS:

1 - 4 CHANNEL 60W RMS X 4 @ 4 OHMS  OR 75W RMS X 4 AT 2 OHMS

1 - 2 CHANNEL 125W RMS X 2 @ 4 OHM

BUT I HAVE WIRED FOR A 2 OHM LOAD WICH GIVES ME 190W RMS X 2

I ALSO PLAN TO:

 INSTALL HEAVY DUTY COIL SPRINGS IN THE FRONT AND HD LEAFS IN THE BACK.

LOWER IT APPROXIMATELY 2 INCHES.

INSTALL A COMPLETE POLYURETHANE BUSHING KIT

ADD A PERFORMANCE CHIP OR GET A PROGRAMMER

AND UPGRADE THE HEADS AND ADD NEW CAM

IS IT POSSIBLE TO MAKE THE 4.0 INLINE 6 CYLINDER, PRODUCE CLOSE TO 300 HORSEPOWER?

PLEASE GIVE ME FEED BACK ON WHAT MODIFICATIONS CAN BE DONE TO DRASTICALLY INCREASE HORESPOWER. AND PLEASE TELL ME THE HOREPOWER GAINS FOR EACH MODIFICATION.

FOR INSTANCE: A HIGH PERFORMANCE CAM. WHAT SIZE? WHO SELLS THEM THE CHEAPEST? AND WHAT KIND OF HP GAINS?

THANKS

PLEASE POST COMMENTS, OPINIONS AND ANY IDEAS ON FUTURE MODIFICATION I SHOULD DO, PERFORMANCE OR AUDIO.

THANKS
