Engine Performance & Gas Mileage - Can You Assist Me?
I have a 1999 Leep Wrangler Sport, 4.0L, 5 speed. The previous owner
installed the performance engine cip as well as the Big Brute air instake system. Is there anything else that I can do to increase engine perfomrance & gas mileage for street driving. What about replacing the mechanical fan with an electric one? Any and all advice or direct experience would be appreciated. Thanks. |

Throttle body spacer - not sure if the intake comes with one. |

If you want mileage, dump the snake oil crap and go back to a stock
setup with an electric fan and wear lighter shoes. If you want performance, you could add a header and cat back along with that hot computer chip and intake you have on it. The two are opposite entities, you can't have both in a Jeep.
