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?

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.

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.

Save your money.

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.
