The 3.7L has almost no aftermarket support. Better flowing intake and exhaust, performance fluids and a electric fan conversion are just about it. I think headers for the 3.7L exist somewhere.

The Fastman also bores out 3.7L throttlebodies, and people have been pretty pleased with the result. A higher rear gear ratio would help acceleration, but add any more power.

Any 3.7 pointers you haven't seen here? Just curious if the Nitro drivers have found anything we've missed.

I fitted a 16" directional flow muffler and a Mopar induction, really made a big difference, I also added a stage 2 jet chip.
