1991 I need help bumping up the HP!
1991 cherokee, any suggestions out there on how to give her some more horses?
ive been looking into a cold air intake and a performance exhaust system, any suggestions on which of those have been working for people? or anything else that will kick her in gear? (yes... my jeep is a she)

Check the search feature to find similiar threads that go into more detail. but there is also a 99+ intake mod. bored out TB and injectors (more throttle response and fuel economy). Just to name a few more.

Some pretty long threads on that topic. I beleive the ford 5.0 injectors do the trick for that year. But i would get someone's else opinion on this that is more knowledgable before you go getting them. And it's more throttle response and MPG gains than HP.

As far as I know there are are no after market companies that produced intake manifolds. Just go to the local JY and yank it.
This is they guy i used, very happy with overall price and preformance gain. http://www.strokedjeep.com/tbody.html As far as doing it yourself, there is a write up on that. I will try to find that for you.

You buy his premachined 1 and then once you get it you send your stock 1 to him and he credits you back the money for the core once he receives it. Then he sells it to the next guy, and the cycle continues. Shoot him an email and he'll tell you what you need to do. Paypal works wonder in this deal.
