Jeep efficiency

Jeep efficiency
I'm considering replacing my injectors, installing roller rockers, valves and anything else that would make my 4.0 run a little smoother. Is there anyone that has done stuff like this or knows anything else that can help the efficiency of my Jeep. I want it to be powerful but it's my daily driver and I'm a college student so I can't spend too much money doing it.

good luck on roller rockers... i believe they are a couple grand for a head thats predone. but you can find them for like 150... per pair.

Cat-back exhaust, header, cold air intake, 63mm TB, hotter ignition coil for bigger spark plug gaps, SN high efficiency oil. Horse power isn't cheap but it's worth it. I just put a header on my 89 and have felt an up in power (not much) and MUCH better MPGs.

But for $160 you can get a stainless "factory replacement" which is the same design as the torque tube type. Lots of people recommend these too.

Thanks guys. I probably won't have an update for you until the summertime. Still looking for a new job. Took a risk by spending a little more on BFG's...then hours got cut back. Always happens like that.
