dont chip it, waste of money. throttle body spacers also dont do anything either. get a bored Throttle body, that should give you some real gains. headers are good, injectors should benefit as well. just do some searching and you should be able to find which ones you need.

this as well!

what tire size are you running? what trans? gearing will help you way more than power upgrades. you can only do so much with bolt on parts

All I am saying is regear for the change in tire size. The 4.0 is just about all it is stock, you will spend alot to get very little from motor up grades' Change to the 703 injectors, air intake and a good tune up and ea good exhust is about it motor wise. It is all about the gearing.

No casting marks of any kind anywhere?

Seems hard to believe.

Maybe get some pics and post them here for ID.
