With 35" I can still get places to yank someone out and then get right back on the road and tow you back to a shop lol
Lol I like the stack idea and 35s would be cool. The super chips are awesome and totally worth the money IMO

I'm having, what I think is, a heat soak issue with my xj. On nice days, It'll run fine for a while, then start to misfire and bog down to about 300 rpms when I give it gas. But once i let off, it idles fine for 15-20 seconds, then misfires again, and the process repeats. And I can't seem to figure out the issue.

I'm thinking it might be boiling the fuel in the rail when it gets hot. High pressure lowers the boiling point of pretty much any liquid, and boiling fuel is never a good thing. If this is the case, it might be pumping vaporized gas into the cylinders, thus causing the crappy running motor. That's why I'm going to wrap up the injectors and fuel rail in that heat Reflective tape. So hopefully, it'll do better.

Seems like your injectors are over loading the cylinders. My buddies 92 mj did this but not quit as bad we upgraded the injectors and that fixed it
