Default Engine Mods.

I have already installed Magnflow exhaust, and AEM intake. Which engine programer would be better. 1. Unichip Performance Computer Module 2. Max Energy ( Hypertech ) And I'm thinking of adding a throttle body spacer too. Not looking for horse power just trying to get back some torque.

Hey man, how ya doin? I have what you have except my CAI is K&N. I have the spacer, don't know if it works, but I got it. DO NOT BUY JBA HEADERS---DO NOT BUY JBA HEARDERS, They will F#$% up your Jeep. Their product sucks (wanna know how I really feel?). I have the Hypertech programmer, it's good for tire size changes and rear axle swaps, as well as turning your fans on at different temps.

I agree. The power programmer would be a great choice to finish you installation.

how will headers mess up the jeep? yes you will probably throw a check engine light for running rich, but that can easily be fixed with a spark plug fouler drilled out to accept a o2 sensor tip. if you dont tighten things down correctly, you might get a exhaust leak.


but seriously how will headers mess up your jeep?

Headers in general won't mess up your Jeep since it has them from the factory. I am unfamiliar with the JBA clamis. I've been familiar with JBA in the past on other applications and they've always made fine products. Perhaps it was operator error.
