Good mod.. will give you more power but will probably lean out your mixture. You could use an adjustable map and adjustable fuel pressure regulator (depends on yeaR of your jeep)

So in doing so i should expect much worse mpg? because i'm traveling 122 miles a day to school/ work... well "Go big or go home" Right?
Thanks Man

What year is your jeep? You're mileage should improve a little cause the engine will breathe easier as long as you can keep off the throttle. You will be making your engine more efficient. All on your driving habits. For example I know when I add an intake.to something I tend to get on it more so even though in theory I should het better mileage I don't. As long as the a/f rating is proper you will get better mileage because you have more power and don't have to use as much throttle..... in theory.

It shouldn't do anything but improve gas mileage. You aren't increasing fuel just air.
