Either way, you're increasing air flow to the head. That's all a H.O. head is anyways, It's like a LS6 head on a LS1. The advantage is minute, but an advantage none the less. Increase air flow, increase power and gas mileage.
FYI, I have been ripping that crushed part of the exhaust off of every Jeep I've had for the last 15 years. I have a guy that makes them for me and installs them as well if I happen to not have access to a welder. I've been putting a header on them for the last 7 years. Just did it to my XJ. The only reason the MJ doesn't have it yet is because I got it 2 weeks ago and it has several other issues to address first.

Has anyone tried out this eBay source for bored throttle bodies?

looks like they have another posting that is specifically for renix throttle bodies. Im willing to give it a shot seeing as how its hard enough to find someone that bore them to begin with. Price seems reasonable too.

I send him all my cores. Check again.
I get the finished product within a week.
I'm thinking folks aren't good about sending cores back because he always likes getting mine.

A fellow Jeeper just called him last week and said he didn't sound very interested in doing Renix stuff right now or in the near future. Although another guy in our group just ordered one for his 2000 that's suppose to be here in a week. So idk

is there a way to tell what year the ecu is by the model number? the listings on ebay just say 87-90 88-90 etc. I want to try the swap, sounds like its worth it.
