Hey Greg and Jeff.

Love the show. Lots of good information. I signed up a couple weeks ago and have listened to all your episodes. Whew that took some time. I haven’t really heard anything about engine and or performance mods. My question is what is your guys’ take on cold air intakes, snorkels, tuners and anything performance wise. I have a 2013 rubicon. I know it has the better engine in it but I’m sure the factory doesn’t make this motor into what it could be just curious what you guys opinions are on tweaking these motors to get more out of them.
Thanks
Jmaes
