Hey I've got a 1996 jeep grand Cherokee with a 5.2L V-8. I'm wanting to do whatever I can to increase the horsepower. I've looked at throttle body spacers , chips , and cold air intake ? What makes the most noticeable increase on power ? And any other suggestions on mods ?

A throttle body spacer is going to do nothing in a multi port injection setup. I would say that a true cold air intake (not one of the ones that pulls air from the open engine bay) or a chip would be the best hp upgrade if you dont want to get into engine internals.

No replacement for displacement, A hotter cam, free breathing exhaust and intake, higher compression....
