I have a throttle body on my jeep and I would say do not do it. If you want to spend a little money do it but I have seen no performance difference. I wish I would have spent the money else where

90% of people with Viper TB say they can feel a very noticable power gain... i guess the 10% got a bad batch

Gains will be minimal, although they aren't that expensive either. I would get a tuner before any bolt on if you want to increase the performance

If you have an exhaust and cai you should be able to feel a difference. With that being said I have never had one on my jk, just trucks in my past..

Proof that it is worth it:
After installing a 2.5" lift and 35" tires, my auto with stock gears performed horribly at highway speeds(65 and above). Couldn't keep it in OD at 70 plus. Already had the typical mods done(cai, exhaust, tuner). In January I made a 5 hour trip on the expressway. Mileage was 15.5 mpg and continuous shifting in and out of OD. In early May I installed a Vipor throttle body just before making a 12 hour trip. Along the same strech of highway, I got 17.5 mpg, stayed in OD the entire time, and could even use cruise control.
You can get the Throttle body at Mopar Supercenter. (I think that is what it is called).
