Short of trading for a truck with an engine with 100+ more hp; the cheaper option is to find (or have customs made) HO cams and add the 08+ intake manifold. HO 4.7's in the Grand Cherokee were 260hp. The more expensive option is to get the adapter manifold so you can bolt on the Eaton supercharger from a Cobra Mustang (then everything else is custom fab) or turbo it and EVERYTHING will be custom fab lol. If you go the boost route keep in mind the stock short block probably won't handle more than 6-7psi without the bottom end being built up.
