not sure whats out there for the 3.7 seeing as its fairly new. i'm guessing cam's and all that goes along with that as well as full exhaust and intake would help it out a good deal. programmer as well but like i said not sure whats out there for the 3.7.

Problem with buying a v6 and looking for aftermarket parts is finding the parts, there isn't demand because someone would rather do the engine drop, than sit there and tinker if making a v6 one. Thats why there isn't much and it is new, but you'll find more for a v8 before you do a v6, unless of course they put these in stuff other than jeeps and dakota's...

there are some upgrades that can be had

there is the fastman tb
a jet chip
maybe a tb spacer
air filters
and exhaust systems

but not much else

good for someone that wants to tinker a bit (ie me) but nothing to extensive which is what i like..

i like my v6 and it has enough do dads to make me happy
