Do you have a place with a dyno near you? Around here we have A LOT of street/strip cars, drag cars, and stock cars so I know a place that will do it for $55 for 2 pulls and $75 for 3. But, most places were there are not a lot of dyno's around charge double even triple that. Sometimes they will even have a dyno day and charge even less like$20 a pull ETC...

Will do but I must add this, pre chip, intake, throttle body spacer and exhuast the XJ would not break the 33" MT's free on pavement. Post installation was a totally different story, stomping on the gas would tear them free with no trouble. As I'm not an engineer I can't say what's actually gained but what I can say is that I gained enough power to do what wasn't possible before hand. If that's what you get with 5hp then I want no more. I built this thing to run trails, not quarter miles ha ha.

Theirs was bagged though. So much so that on the 3 runs they did they lost something rediculous like 10 hp a pull. There was so much of a difference they couldn't get a real average. If they had kept romping on it it would've died on the dyno. They were also doing it in 4hi (on a 4 wheel dyno) so there's tons of parasitic loss.
