Engine Performance & Gas Mileage - Can You Assist Me?
I have a 1999 Leep Wrangler Sport, 4.0L, 5 speed. The previous owner
installed the performance engine cip as well as the Big Brute air
instake system. Is there anything else that I can do to increase
engine perfomrance & gas mileage for street driving. What about
replacing the mechanical fan with an electric one? Any and all advice
or direct experience would be appreciated. Thanks.

AHHH! The Leep model! Able to leep from rock to rock with small
jumps! ;)
Throttle body spacer - not sure if the intake comes with one.

If you want mileage, dump the snake oil crap and go back to a stock
setup with an electric fan and wear lighter shoes.
If you want performance, you could add a header and cat back along with
that hot computer chip and intake you have on it.
The two are opposite entities, you can't have both in a Jeep.

I have an electric fan in a four cylinder Wrangler and depending on where
you live it may not be adequate for use with a six cylinder engine,
especially during the summer, if you drive in the city, go off road, or like
to leave it idling.
