    2.5L performance?

    When i worked with the chevy dealer a while back, doin the aftermarket upgrades for the corvette club guys, everybody would run the cooler temp spark plugs when you run boost so you didnt get predetonation. So im just tryin to keep that in mind, so i could pound that out early that seems ideal...

    JET THERMOSTAT YES or NO ?

    I put hood scoops on my jeep, one does a ram air into my k&n and the other is on the other side above my air horn, and they perfectly angled with the hood.

    JET THERMOSTAT YES or NO ?

    I just did the jet swap stage 2 with the 180* thermostaat and its working great! Ive got a full k&n intake, over sized tb, poweraid spacer, header back exhaust with dual turndowns before the rear axle, my motor is a 00 2.5L and it gained some mpgs when you drive nice and when hotroding it takes...

    Aftermarket disc brakes

    Ssbc makes an aftermarket setup for jeeps, and i found a forum where they take dual piston calipers off of fords with the advance trac for a cheaper upgrade that is at every local parts store. Another thing to look into perhaps.

    Substitue radiator for 1983 AM General(Mail Jeep)

    Try summit racing on the web. They should have a cross referance list of other vehicles that use the same radiator and you can snag one from a junk yard.

    2.5L performance?

    So the bosch +4 and the fusions and iridiums or whatever they be called, are all no go? Cause i thought you want los resistance for your plugs so you get a quality spark, to burn the amount of fuel. Thats what i did with my S-ER motor.

    Wheel Spacers

    So far ive bought the wheel spacers from spidertrax and i couldnt have been happier, they work well and havent come loose as long as you apply the locktight that comes with. They have taken potholes of chicago to the treacherous high speed driving to power launches and off road. I recommend...

    2.5L performance?

    Well i went to jp magazines website and they did an article with links to up the power on these four cylinders and they recommended the davis unified ignition, so thats what im gonna use. As for over gapping all that does is lose miles per gallon on the 4 cylinders. When they are overgapped fuel...

    ahh, well the race cam i researched i'll look into for what lsa its got. and i was thinkin of a stroker kit and the supercharger will only put out 5lbs boost with a max set at 7, that will accommodate the current compression, i dont wanna change the ratio that much on it. if i do lower the...

    2.5L performance?

    Also on a side note, in 2000 they did something to these 4 cylinders that really up the ante, cause i drove my buds 97 and of course his was stock, but theres a big difference in the basic power levels between those 3 years... the newer 4 cylinder doesnt lack that much more juice. I keep up with...

It was an idea, and im runnin with it. I gotta bud...

    2.5L performance?

    My 2.5 is running a k&n intake for a 2000 4.0, and i bought an extra boot and pipe extension to get it around the a/c line. It has a throttle body spacer from poweraid and a 4.0 tb from a 97cherokee, the stock sensors will bolt right in, no need for harness adaptions, and new oe injectors and a...
