Notices
JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

What was done to your JK this week?

think of the engine and the intake and exhaust as a giant vacuum. There will always be a bottleneck someplace. Bigger flow air intake, then the bigger exhaust, then the intake manifold gets ported and polished. Maybe you need a MAF that will handle the extra air. Then you need bigger injectors to get more fuel in there so you still hit the stoichiometric. Then the lumpier cam . . .

Awesome! Hmm you may have sold me on your idea and the flip kit . I was already going to flip down the line but my trac bars are tearing up my diff covers. Thanks !!!!
