Since throwing a rod durring the winter I've not had much contact with my 92 XJ. Now she's in the shop getting her heart transplant and due out friday, I'm wondering if anyone could give me a ball park on what she'll be putting out in terms of hp/tq.

TO JEEP FOR UNLEASHING HELL ON EARTH

 

At least 500, that's my guess!!

 

jealous! is that a 4.0?

 

That sounds like a bit much. My E55 doesn't even have that much and it's a monster.

 

Yes, it's a 92 laredo sporting the 4L H.O

 

Sorry, it's hard to type in sarcasm!! LOL!! As far as real numbers, there are so many variables there, it'd be hard to say!!

 

you my get 5 hp over stock
a little better top and bottom end power nothing neck snapping
the most power increase you will feel is a fresh motor compare to the old

 

you would be better off spending the money for the chip
on a 63mm throttle body and a newer 96 intake

 

It starts out with what 190hp so I would say maybe 20hp 210hp and 225tq maybe 25-30tq ? so 255tq max? These are just my uneducated opinions. You may bet less and hell you may get more but with out a dyno baseline and a dyno after we will never know.

 

I figured you were just high on jeep dust something ha ha

 

I'm pretty sure it's well over five hp/tq in total gains or these companies would never sell a thing

 

That sounds more like it

 

Jeep dust...yeah, yeah...that's the ticket!!

 

do a search on this forum and on pirate 4x4
reports are not good for power gain
the chips relie on un used power from retarded timing and fuel flow
the 4.0 uses most all of its available power already

throttle body and intake will give you the best bang for your buck

 

Really you should have just made a cheap man stroker while it was out!
