Default Need A Little Engine Help

So I currently have a Airaid CAI, and a borla dual cat back exhaust. I'm running 32inch Rubicon tires on a Unlimited X. I'm looking to give my Jk another kick in the ass. I'm looking at getting a Jet Chip. I'm leaning towards the Stage I, mainly on the fact that Stage II requires 91 octance fuel, and i really want to avoid spending more money on gas. And i'm looking for a recomendation for headers. I'm leaning towards Gibson headers mainly cause the cost of the chrome ones are cheaper and i can't see any difference between the other brands. Anyone have any opinions on this set up?

Default chip

The chips alright. I had a hypertech in my durango, 4.7L, and it didnt do a whole lot. I saw the best performance increase from the c.a.i and exhaust. I never really saw any diff. in power between the 'tow mode' 'power mode' and 'gas save mode'. The only real increase came from adjusting the shift points higher. But, granted you have a manual in your jeep, that wouldnt help either. Im sure on paper the chip sounds good but how much of that hp actually makes it to the wheels im still skeptical. Im not that familiar with the chip your looking at but I figure their all kinda the same. I'd imagine you would see a shit load of performance from the headers. let us know how that goes..jes dont waste any $ on the chip
