The Edge Trailjammer is way overpriced and I don't think it performs as well as claimed. Just do:

Cold air intake
62mm bored TB (look in ebay)
Replace stock clutch fan with a 14" electric unit (wirred up to work in tandem with auxiliary electric fan)

Chips are a waste of money and do almost nothing (except lighten your wallet).

1. With a second 30amp relay and inline fuse in the same way as the auxiliary fan.

2. A slimline 14" fan from ebay that's no more than 3-1/4" thick. You can shorten the clutch fan pulley studs for extra clearance.

Get you TB from here: http://www.strokedjeep.com/

As others have said, the Trail Jammer is over priced.

I have no experience with JET chips but I have used a HYPERTech III programmer. All it did was make my engine ping. Waste. kolak@aol.com does have a PCM modification that does a whole host of things other than timing an AFR.

Also, do some research on your 2000 0331 head. If it was my XJ the first thing I would od is take the head off and replace it with an Alabama Cylinder Head 0331 upgraded casting. Do a polish and port while you have it off.
