I just did the 99+ intake manifold swap to my '97 XJ. I was supprised at just how easily it went together. It truely does work great with the Banks Header and K&N intake. Now all I'am missing is a bored throttle body.
While I was at it I had the head and new intake ported and polished. The engine really seems to run and idle much better now. I also replaced all of the Ignition with Mopar Performance products. I was wondering about spark plug gap, currently they are set to stock specs. Is there any advantage to overgaping them??
Also, is there any advantage to changing cams??? I had a different cam in my stroker, but this engine is still a 4.0l. I would be looking for something that would help at the higher end, more than low end.
