no need to buy a sales gimmick man.

if you really need to throw some money into your xj, drive it around.. something will break.

And a chip or tuner will do nothing also,If your looking for more power and stuff a full tune up and exhaust work will help more.

Most XJer's agree that chips, tuners or TB spacers are a waste of money as they don't really help our XJ's much, if at all.

Bored throttle body...
703/784 injectors.

Not more HP/torque, but better throttle response.

Didn't think about this! I'm going to consider 784 since my XJ is '00. Should I get new or find out of some Neon or something...?
