if you want to give additional info about your experiences with modifications, that would be great.

I dont think you will get much gain from a TB spacer.
For $200 I would say maybe an exhaust system. Probably wouldnt be able to buy a kit, but buy a free flow muffler sperately and some pipe and do the work yourself to save some $$.

I would imagine any reputable machine shop could do it. If not hit up ebay they have plenty of 62mm (or 63mm i can't remember the exact size where it meets the manifold) available. I'm pretty sure the top opening, and the opening on the intake are 62 or 63mm,but at the flap and bottom of the stock TB it's down to 55mm I think. Also on a side note I don't know if your 99 has square runner restrictive style intake or the curved runner intake. If it's the square one find a curved one outta a newer XJ. They are usually good for 10-15 horse from what I hear. You may need to modify the alternator bracket slightly as well from what I hear. Best of luck
