Pure stock right at this moment (R56).... was actually thinking about adding a JCW stage 1 kit when the RMW came along.... Still haven't decided what to do before the tune... but I am all ears...

I have the DDM CAI installed now and most likely will leave it that way, for now.

Just order a RISS racing exhaust pipe yesterday

But I don't think (well, at least I am not holding my breath over this) it will be here in time for the tune... so far, did intall a high flow air filter from Alta.
need a new set of tires soon... or I will never catch Johnathan (JSouz)

I have the same power mods I had last dyno time. Just hoping the RMW tune will out power the unichip...

I did build a co2 intercooler sprayer that comes on at W.O.T. to help with the heat soak.

Who has the most powerful R53?

I do own a few Jeeps. 1990 XJ (this is my rockcrawler) and a 1947 CJ2a. I am shadyxj on CO4x4.

Mynes - I got it used. It is throwing a SES light (code P0420) but I also have not replaced the O2 sensors yet so I'll wait to see if that solves it or not. I carry the OBDII scanner in the car as I also get the P0172(I think) for running lean no big deal but thought I would let you know.

I have not contacted Mike yet since I have not done the sensors ( I bought the header from Mike - it was there test unit)

The header itself is well made, good welds, fitment was perfect and I got the sterling silver coating for heat. It added a little better throttle response as well as a little more grunt in the lower RPM ranges (but dyno ) It also added a little more growl to it.

Ok I broke down and bought some injectors... Peter from M7 and I looked over my last dyno results and I was running a 'tad lean. And the tune will be $450 (ouch) so I'm hoping for more than 5whp. My pocket book thinks $20 per hp is the limit...

Hippie, what CC's are your injectors?

Cool I considered their header but I couldent wait until they had finished moving. Mynes seems to have good customer service so I am sure you will get the help you want.
