So what kind of mods do you have? Vents, louvers, cowl induction, hi line cut? I am usually a fan of hood scoops but not sure about on a CJ.
Just saw peteCJ-8 has what looks like a late 60's Ford cobra jet scoop on his new 8.
I have a bunch of them debating on trying to use one: late 60's Ford Cobra jet, factory fox body mustang scoop, early 70's Z28, 6.6 trans am shaker, tiny Yugo scoop.
Post up pics of your modded hoods.
 
The Hurst Commando came from the factory with a hood scoop:

I made a mold for a fiberglass replica Hurst scoop a while back, here's what a scoop out of that mold looks like on a CJ hood:

The bulge in the original Hurst scoop had a tach; since most more modern Jeeps have a tach in the dash I made the replica so two standard gauges could be mounted there:
