Default New daily driver :)

Just picked up a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with the 4.7l H.O
this sets up perfect for me to jump back in the lsx game next year with a c6z06.... Does anyone know of a good site that has some aftermarket goodies? i might do a few things to free up the intake and try to get it to the 300hp mark

jeep forum is good, but i dont really buy stuff for my jeep, so i cant really say...

I have an 04 Grand Cherokee Special Edition too...but I went with the 4.0 I6 for fuel economy and what not. I have thought about getting a newer Jeep or 4runner, but the 04 was the last year with the I6...and the newer v6s have **** for power So I will probably keep my jeep for a while

Im good. What have you been up to? The evo is still slow, just a turboback, boost controller and a tune... 315whp 330wtrq, I just made it a little quicker to hold me over for something crazy next year... hope to be back in the LSX game with a newer z06
