Jet Power chips?
I was thinking about putting one of these chips in my '95 XJ. Does anyone have
any experience with these chips. Do they actually work? Do you think they're worth couple hundred bucks or what could I buy for the same money that would do the same thing? BNB7@aol.com '95 Jeep Cherokee Country '97 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo |
Re: Jet Power chips?
Waste of money IMHO. Any HP they may get you will only be in the high RPM
band and will require that you run higher octane gas, from what I understand. -- Jim -- 98 TJ SE 90 SJ GW http://www.delawareja.com/gallery/JDJeep98 "You can do any job in the world with the wrong tool if you try hard enough..."

Re: Jet Power chips?
Ditto, a complete waste of money. They only help a little and then only at
WOT (wide open throttle) and high engine rpms... not exactly how a Jeep is driven by anyone but a 16-17 year old. ;) Plus they then make your engine start demanding no less octane than 89 or 91 to keep it from pinging.

Best first steps would be 1) cat-back, gibson, borla, etc. 2) new exhaust headers 3) bored over throttle body. You don't give an engine size so be aware of this gotcha. If you have the 4 banger, the TB from a I6 is the largest you want to go. If you put a bored out TB for the I6 on your 4 it will run so lean the engine will melt. :) Well, maby not that lean, but it will run like crap cause you essentially overtook the injectors. -- -- DougW -- 93 ZJ 4.0 http://members.cox.net/wilsond HESCO Supercharger - 300W IASCA Stereo - Edelbrock IAS Shocks Gibson Exhaust - rear DCpower - custom gauge install - Stillen Rotors |
