Re: 2.5L performance?

check out this month's JP magazine, big write up on modifying the 2.5/4.0, basically leave the 2.5 alone, with exception of avenger s/chargers. Bolt on parts do nothing for the 2.5l, sometimes they actually reduce power. If jeep could've gotten more ponies from it, they would of.The throttle body is sized to provide hp's AND torque. If jeep could've just made one t-body for both, they would of, it would've been cheaper. Adding three ponies is not worth your time nor is it noticeable, assuming you actually get them.And you may even lose some low-end. Your 2.5l wiil serve you well, leave it alone and regear your axe's.
