To start with the bolt ons...you can do a Cold Air Intake, bored Throttle Body, headers, highflow cat, and a free flowing exhaust system. That is if you don't wanna tear the engine apart and do a stroker. People will claim that these bolt ons give them an extra 10,000 HP, but don't expect a race car. You'll definitely notice a difference though. Also, gears don't add horsepower, but you'll feel the difference.

I forgot to add that any high performance stickers (like JEGS, Summit, Edelbrock, etc.) add 15 hp each if placed in the vital areas! And there are many threads on here about this. You just need to use the search bar

Lower gears don't add Horsepower BUT, they multiple the hell out of your available torque and you damn sure do feel the difference in the seat of your pants when you nail the skinny right pedal!!!!!!! More expensive than engine bolt on but, by far the best power adder I've ever done to my XJ.

Right now...stock height with 235/75R15. In the near future, I will have a 2-3 inch lift with 31x10.5 tires. Nothing too big, and I plan not to go any bigger for a while.

Mustang GT Fuel Injectors. The standard 4.0 Injectors have one hole, the 5.0 Injectors have 4 holes that better atomizes the fuel. Search Ebay for the guy out of Florida that uses an ultra sonic cleaner and flow bench to match the output of each injector. I installed a set earlier this week and there is a noticeable difference. You can get a matched set of 6 injectors for approximately $115.00.
The volume of the stock versus 5.0 injectors are approximately the same #19 vs 20#. Its the atomization that makes the performance gain and not more fuel.
Be sure to purge the fuel rail after installation or it will run very badly.
