I am a proud owner of a 07 Jeep GC SRT8 now. I purchased it last week and love it. The only aftermarket part on the jeep is a full corsa exhaust. Any ideas of what to do next?

Welcome to the srt world
The mods on them are endless

And u won't regret it

Well I'm looking for quick bolt on power. Not looking to spend a whole lot right now but probably will in the future.

best bang for your buck while not spending alot would be a predator tuner with a custom tune from diablotoona (johan)...others on the forum here can tell you more about it or you can check out the tuning section on the forum and read about it there...

Well a good CMR DYNO or Johan Tune with a good CAI will get you in the 12.50/12.80 in the 1/4 mile if your race wt isnt to heavy and you got some low DA.

Ahhh it is another black one. Smoked tail lights. I only drive black vehicles. Its the best color I think. Well thanks for the info guys. I will look into the predator tuner.

Just ordered my diablo predator tuner. Got it for a good price. Any suggestions on what to do with it when i get it using the loaded tunes before I get a custom map?

drive around with the canned tunes and then when you get the custom johan tunes drive with those and you'll realize immediately the day and night difference that the extra cash for the custom tune was well worth it :)

I would go first for the Diablo Predator, Jet 180 Thermostat, and CAI of your choosing.

Less than $750 spent and usually .5 off your 1/4 mile. Then hire Johan to make it sing....

Yep what they said. Welcome to the club.

I agree, CAI and custom tune.

Then save up for a supercharger or the front mount turbo setup.

Best bang for the buck.

Is it better to run the JET t stat or a motorad 4128 t stat? I have heard different things.
