99' XJ: 4.6L, manual, 231, 8.25 rear.
ive been driving my stroker for a number of months now and have put quite a few miles on it. between the PO and i there is somewhere around 35k on the motor. it runs PHENOMINAL, a big difference in torgue and power from the 4.0s ive had in the past. i know shes got some more power but the engine just needs to BREATH. and with a recent inspection revealing an exhaust leak to me, i think its time to get to work... i just want some oppinions from those with knowledge on strokers:
-what recomendations on exhaust systems can you make? ive been thinking 2.5" all the way but am unsure about the use of the stock manifold or having a header made/ordered. muffler and cat recomendations? (the stock exhaust is in place at the moment)
-the throttle body was milled (i forget to exactly what size, i will double check asap) but it does whisle a bit and im looking at replacing it. would upgrading the throttle body and air intake be worthwhile? my xj never sees dust or mud, stricktly a beach fishing/DD rig.
im sure i have more questions that are eluding me right now... :banghead:
