So it should jump even further at sandlake then? Only if I truss the axles, don't want to end up like the Grey Suburban

does it seem like you have any more power now. Oh ya ;D, I feel it wanting to go, it's definately a tighter motor too Drove 375 of the 500 break-in miles today. The power isn't OMG, but is noticable, kinda expected a little more power, but maybe I'm asking too much out of a 4.0L. At any rate, I'm happy with it, if it has too much power, I'd get myself in trouble

well if you want just a little more its time for a cold air intake and, tb spacer the spacer is suppose to give you like 6 extra hp alone.

Went to put the front mounted reciever on today, and doesn't look like it will work unless I take off the push bar Also the front swaybar mount bushings are too small, they sent me ones for the standard swaybar and not the heavy duty one . Hopefully I won't have any issues with the new rear leaf springs

i'm working on a turbo kit for the 4.sl0. if you want some more power it might be an option. won't have it completed and tested until spring. don't want to tear apart the jeep for a rebuild in the winter in case i need to use it.

leanord did it on his xj but he went el cheapo on his fuel management. he claimed he had 300 hp and 320 ft/lbs to the wheels, but i HIGHLY doubt he did. I'd be happy if mine put down 250 to the wheels in 2wd.

The Black Jeep just seems to be getting more power as it loosens up , but having a few minor issues we are trying to chase down. I'm thinking one of the injectors isn't working right? Seems to have good power, but doesn't sound real smooth at an idle, just a slight mis.

Gotta find someone with a shop that can help me put in my new rear leaf springs. I need to take the add-a-leaf out of my old ones and add it to the new ones. I'm pretty sure I have all the parts I need to do it, new u-bolts, nuts, centering pins, and ploy bushings. Just need some high jack stands to set under the tow hitch to get the rear axle off the ground, then I can lower the axle down and swap out the rear leaves.
