The chips are pretty useless as the computers are already tuned to like 95% efficiency. Throttle body spacers...well they are totally useless unless you want the cool whistly sound

Hey I know people that have had measurable gains in MPG with a throttle body spacer, I just like the mean sound.
Save the money for injectors, cams, stroker kit...

FYI...I had the JET Stage II in mine when I bought it (2000 XJ 4.0) and I was getting around 11.5 average mpg around town...took it out and now I'm getting about 13 mpg in town... Go figure...
I also had a throttle body spacer...waste of time and money (no gains)! Just my $.02
