i wonder
« on: June 25, 2007, 10:04:31 PM »

is there a v8 tj in the uk just wondering as there is a fair few bits you can fit to wring a bit more power out of the four litre from plugs air filters coils throttle spacers  and manifolds then at the deep end you got stroker kits and super chargers it would be nice to see how that stacked up against a tj with a late model chevy vortech v8 and how cost efective both routes would be
