I see a lot of people talking about tuning the 2.7 and I wonder how viable that option is going to be. It's getting difficult to get diesel tuners due the EPA going after companies selling tunes/tuners. I don't know why they wouldn't do the same for gas engines if the tuning affects the emission controls in any way and it's hard to imagine it won't. So yeah you could tune the 2.7 to compete with the Wrangler 392 but you'd have no warranty and may run afoul of emissions testing if you live in a state where it's required. Not to mention that the extra power you get out of the 2.7 is not likely to play nice with the transmission for long leading to more expenses. In the end if you want raw horsepower the Wrangler 392 is probably the best bet.
