Default How soon would you mod a brand new JK

How soon would you performance mod a brand new JK. I actually don't even have it yet, it is on order, I already have MBRP exhaust, XDI air intake, Superchip tuner etc. How long should I wait before I start bolting this stuff on. Should I wait a while so that it can get used to it self, or not really even bother and let it get used to the new air and tune right off?

Thanks

I think normal mod's (nothing x-tream) can be done right away. Dealerships seall them brand new lifted and large tires.

I need my Jeep to come in first mind you. I thought I was impatient. I would love to know what neighbors are going to think of me modding a brand new car (especially making it noisier), should be funny!

Mine had less than 180 miles on it when I dropped it off for a 6" long arm lift, 40" tires, new bumpers, gears, driveshafts, wheels/tires and that was only because the lift shop was about 60 miles away.

I'd drive it a little bit before you start bolting crap on it, no offense. How will you know if anything is actually working or improving your jeep without a baseline to judge it by?

Cause we all spend every waking hour on this forum letting other people do it first and then making a decison based on those experiences along with our own judgement.
