I do not know how much money you have to play with but I like the recommendation to install a supercharger. Or maybe start off with Ripp Headers. They do make a difference.
Yes it is costly but your JK will not longer be a dog. My JK is weighted down with mods and I have no problem with power.

We also now offer their ECU swap as an option on our GEN II supercharger system for 2011 JK's. Food for thought.
Questions welcome.

As a supercharger manufacturer, we recommend this option to our 2011 JK customers. We endorse and specifically recommend the ECU swap sold by RPM Extreme.

It's "seamless" if you go through us. Just provide us with your VIN to be flashed to the new ECU, and it's plug and play once you get it!

Like others have mentioned,, regear.. All the bolt on parts (minus a supercharger) wont give a driveable feeling like gears. I went with 5.13 with my auto and love it. It seems to just hum right along at highway speeds and not hunt while windy or going up hills. I went from the stock sport wheels and tires to the Rubicon take off's and noticed a big difference in even more suckage driving around. ( i had 3.73 )
Best money spent on my jeep for sure thus far..
I have thought about the ecu swap but have also heard that the steering wheel controls no longer work after the swap.
There are so many options out there for Wrangler owners as long as you dont have a 2011.. I'd love to have a tuner but i'm S.O.L., like everyone else,...
''TheTerminator"" for some reason i find that statement kinda hard to believe. 35's and passing with 3.73 gear would only happen going down hill with a tornado up your ass.. Or you are working the crap out of that 3.8...

I agree with Terminator. I put on Rubi takeoff and have auto 3.73. I did recalibrate and happy with the results. Granted I don't have 35's I still have power. I don't feel it's a dog in the least. Very happy with tires and gears. Went to the mountains and it performed very well.
