Hi folks,

Well, i must say that i am in love with my car. I never drove such a
fun car in my life. This new 2001 Grand Cherokee with the V8 blows my
1999 V6 Grand Cherokee away. I mean, it handles like a dream, it
drives smooth as a baby's butt and it accelerates like crazy! What
more could one ask? I mean, i am so excited about driving this car
that i love now to go to work! Just to drive it! :)

Well, i like the added horsepower so much, that i decided to see for
myself if there is aftermarket parts for the 4.7L to add some more HP.
I am not a mecanically inclined person, but i scoured the net for some
tips. One thing i learned is that Jeep has a new engine starting 2002
that is H.O. ( High Output ) that adds some extra HP to the standard
4.7L. And by searchint the net, i found that this H.O. engine was the
same 4.7L but with some enhanced parts, and that a regular 4.7L could
be turned into a H.O.!

Very excited, i searched and found this link
http://www.buymopar.com/store/jeep.html that sells the needed parts to
upgrade the engine to H.O.! The kit adds "approximately 30+ hp gain"
according to the website...Whooooa! Is that too good to be true? I
know that the H.O needs High Premium fuel to work at high HP, but
would the non H.O. 4.7L engine get these 30HP increase with regular
fuel with this kit?

I also found this website
http://krcperformance.com/newcontent/47page.html that had some
performance parts, but i cannot understand a word on that page! LOL,
so i am nit sure if it is even for my GRand Jeep Cherokee 4.7L..."This
kit includes both left and right cams, higher lift valvesprings,
machined lash caps"..no idea what this means.

Like i said before, i am not very mecanicaly savy ( heck, i do not
even know what a camshaft is), but i can get a friend to do the
install for me.

My question to you guys is it worth it? Will the car accelerate any
faster? what is the best kit to use?

Oh, and what happens to the warranty if something like that is
installed?

Thanks all for your replies and sorry if i seem too novice compared to
you guys.

If you are raising the compression of this engine, you have to use premium
