Instant power from a supercharger is the best for offroad since you need the power right away, no spool time.

Ok, I have nice seats out of my old '96 xj that I sold. I ended up buying another xj, but its a '92. The seats in the '92 are nice but the drivers side sags. I noticed the mount doesn't look the same. I don't think my '96 seats will fit. Am I wrong? I haven't taken the time to try.

Besides the throttle body spacer, sure. Even if it makes a difference, the computer will compensate for the change with a couple weeks.

I was about to say: "Renix Jeep. Check the C101 connector on the firewall."

Don't do that. '87/88 had C101 connectors, but '89+ didn't.

Soo...check for vacuum leaks.
