Is the banks power pak all it's cracked up to be? 96 ft. lbs. and 79 horses? yeah at the fly wheel, but will i be happy with it at the wheels? What kind of power adders do any of you have on your 4.0?

Try posting in the tech board under your style jeep. Im sure someone will know.

I have always been impressed with Banks products.

I have the Monster exhaust on my Jeep and it sounds great! It makes that 4.0 sound deep and throaty.

For intake I have the Airaid [url]http://www.airaid.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=310-158[/url] intake and so far it has been perfect. When I clean my filter I always check the inside of the tube and no matter how dusty of an environment I have been in there is never even a spec of dust in the tube.

I did both of these at the same time and there was a definite "seat of the pants" improvement. I have never dynoed it so I don't have any actual numbers.

I am interested in looking up the specs on the Banks programmer and what it will actually do for my Jeep.

I tried the Jet stage 2 chip a long while ago and I didn't notice that that big of a difference.

You can check out my setup and hear the exhaust at the next Meet & Greet.

Im convinced, Thx Dirty. That is my next upgrade!

I did the trail jammer kit.. and a mag flow exhaust at same time and loved it..! Throttle is way snappy! Best up grade ever. Kit comes with intake, larger throttle body, and programmer..

Can I SMOG with a header? My grandpa has on on his xj and I am real impresed

Being a banks kit i believe so. Banks is pretty good about that but give them a call really friendly people also very help full.

Most short-tube headers have CARB numbers, so will pass visual inspection during a smog check. There are no legal long-tube headers for your Jeep.

Even though the short-tube header doesn't give great power gains, it sure beats replacing cracked factory manifolds all the time. Make sure you use some header wrap to keep the heat off of the fuel rail to prevent vapor lock.

im hoping to see a significant power gain by thursday. But I wont be able to enjoy it until the of my work week

until the end........

I got an airrad intake, a throtle body spacer, and banks monster cat back exhaust and am really impressed!!! The tourqe tubes will have to wait... I have some other upgrades that take priority.
