What is your reasoning behind why you recommend the neon injectors over the ones you have now?

If you want some FMS injectors I'd be willing to part with my set of 6(have a grand total of 4.5 months on a vehicle) for a cheap price.

wouldnt the 30lb fms injectors be a better upgrade or is that not possible for my motor? I just want to get the best possible injectors i can get for it. How much would u be willing to sell them for?

That is a nice JEEP man, only thing, i wouldnt do it just due to how hot it gets down here in the summer, i bet that thing boils when its hot.......It does look good i gotta say. Your quite a bit older than me though, i'm 18. My jeep is pretty nice but not as nice as yours. Mine has 159k miles on it, bout to roll over to 160. How many is on yours? i'll put some more pictures of mine on here soon, there are a few on my profile if u wanna check them out. I put the bushwacker fender flares on mine, i bet they would look sick on your jeep

IMO? definitely. over time the gas you save will pay for the swap(takes a loong while but it will happen) basically for every 15 gallons of gas you burn you'll be able to go 15 miles farther on that same amount. considering in the average cherokee it costs about $2.25 to drive 15 miles(and the injector upgrade costs about $50 on average). it'll take about 333 gallons of gas/6,000miles of driving to pay for itself. yes i'm a geek. get over it.

Not a geek in my book bro!! Ive been reading injector post for the last few weeks trying to gather as much info as I can before I do the swap, and the info you giving here is AWESOME. Question for you thou, im a bit confused as to what injector I need for my 2000 XJ. Found this thread and this chart not long ago. What are your thoughts? You suggest Neon, yet this chart dosent seem to include the neon injector for my year

here is the link ;-)
