superchips or hypertech programmer

[1sicto]

I have a 1997 xj (of course) just done lift,tires,gears,etc & getting a programmer is next. I was looking into superchips but they dont support 97 says it want read? So my question is just go with hypertech that works with lower hp/tq ratings,or is there a way to swap cpu to 98(easily) or a way around this issue?

Have you done anything else performance wise? IMO those programmers are worthless. You might be better off with some different parts.

Any links so i can get some info?

speed is calibrated through the t case speedo gear. swapping gears is probably the only way to fix that.
I don't have a link off hand. try google. I used a tuner named Flyin Ryan. his canned tune sound like it would work best for you.

I called sct & they said dont have anytging for a 1997 xj? I will try to search more...

Ok Flyin Ryan(tge tuner)has been spotted in other forums! I really just need to get info on what sct scanner i need? I am lost in this catagory:huh:

His name is Ryan hogan. He is on fb. I, Jason Durbin, am friends with him. I'll go out and get the model number off my handheld later.

Get a new speedo gear if you changed tires or gears and leave the rest alone. You're not modded enough to have impacted the other stuff if all you've done is what you listed

Do one of the dry filters. The oil from the K/Ns comes off the filter and builds up around the throttle body.
What I've done to mine in the past. Flowmaster or magna flow muffler. Low restriction air intake. Had the lip in the throttle body removed. Upgrade injectors. Not a fan a programers.

Finishing up a tune with Ryan Hogan right now as well. I have done 2 1/2 exhaust, apn header, injectors, aftermarket cat and muffler, bored throttle body, k & n intake and with tune from Ryan picked up an extra 35 hp to the wheels as well a couple of mpg.

Post the dyno sheet

Will bring it to work tomorrow and scan it.

Better yet, video.

5,000 rpm is screaming for the 4.0.

The underhood light was flickering at the higher rpm's, alternator issue coming?

So no programmer or programmer? Im not against buying other upgrades that will increase hp/tq,mpg,etc or both if thays what it takes...

I wouldn't bother with a tuner on the 4.0. Save the money for something else.

I am running an AFE full cold air on my rig right now and I like it, as well as a flowmaster muffler dumped at the axle. 60mm throttle body that I bored at home, 4 hole injectors. Runs smooth and accelerates nicely.

If you want REAL power, get a stroker. The 4.0 isn't a good platform for bolt ons.

Ok cool thanks all for info! I will upgrade injectors already have exaust & air covered. What 4 hole injecters recommended & i tried a tb spacer but want fit with k&n air so where is best place to aquire throttle body? I guess at the end of its 1st life i will go 4.6 or 4.7 but for now its still strong.
