Sure he can if enough money is spent. But, pretty much, increasing 0-60 times is then no longer measured by a calendar (lol), but by "amount of gas consumed" per second".

As with most things, while fun, it is not free.

If your engine is stout, just RIPP it.

While I agree, this is also my daily driver. Entering the north end of the i17 where the speed limit is 75mph and everyone is doing 85mph is embarrassing - I feel like I'm driving an 18 wheeler up the grapevine.

However, driving this slow pig has made me appreciate my “fast” car a lot more. lol

The jeep needs something. A turbo, supercharger, v8 engine, to be dropped out of a plane...

I have an 2011 2 Dr. Hard Top & Automatic. I find the overall Performance very acceptable. 373's & 33" Nitto Terra Grapplers. 16-18 MPG City, 19-21 HWY. It beats the Hell out of my 04' TJ Auto.

This was on a 93 tune. I think I may have over compensated my octane and was running 100 octane, which could’ve hurt in the long run.



Ill be going back to stock tune soon and 87 octane so I will have something to compare to. Then Ill load up the 87 tune. Depending on my results I may redo the 93 tune.

Either way, 13.3 0-60 is pretty slow.

I can't believe we are discussing 0-60 in our jeeps... let's lower it, put on some 22's and ground effects... With that being said, if we are discussing performance to better help on the trails, then yes, it's a reasonable thread IMO. !

Lets be fair - you have to get to the trails - and getting onto the highway with 120whp, 37's and all the gear-- well sucks... the 0-60 might not matter as much - but 50-80 does when you have to pass someone or dart over to your exit your going to miss because you weren't paying attention...
