http://cgi.ebay.com/20HP-JEEP-LIBERTY-P ... dZViewItem This chip is dirt cheap but says you will gain up to 20+hp is it worth it. |

I wouldn't trust that. For somebody who supposedly designed that chip as their design project, you'd think he'd have more than a single graph (linked to from somebody else's site, as far as I can gather). Oh, and I wouldn't trust that seller, either. They apparently purposely and admittedly overcharge for shipping and only send the product with a stamped envelope. Here is their negative feedback: 9thwondra |

Which coast of Kansas is it on? Atlantic or Pacific? |

I would be curious as to what it's really doing. Someone with a logic probe and some time could probably figure it out... If much of anything, it probably just leans out the fuel mixture... |

It's not a chip, it's just a resistor that messes with a sensor value. You may see a little bit higher performance in exchange for a rougher running engine, but it will quickly return to normal as the KJs PCM is adaptive and designed to adjust for any "funny" inputs. Don't waste your money.

Ok, the picture I saw then must have been this guys "rig" tacked onto two legs of one of the ECMs ICs... I didn't plan on buying one. I did some looking around other non-Jeep forums and came accross quite a bit of dope on this thing... It seams that his customer service a total crap plus he is either very dissorganzied and/or isn't interested in standing behind it. I knew some engineers back in college who disigned interesting little devices that indeed worked very well, but those were gearned mostly around turbo boost/waste gate timing, etc... So, at first, I was willing to give him a chance, but not after what I read. It is SAD that the KJ is being overlooked by the tunner mfgs... And, full custom tunning is just say too expensive... Thanks for the input. |

Actually custom programming is only about $450. Makes a pretty noticeable differance too. |

Really, any recommended vendors with KJ experience? I'm interested in power and some economy... That’s about what I'm paying to tune my excursion. |

I got mine done by B&G Chrysler. It's an aggressive flash with the torque management turned off. With it, I put 252 hp and 301 ftlbs torque to the ground on a Superflow dyno with the 75 shot with an air/fuel around 10.9. Could have easily gotten another 20 hp out it by leaning it out a bit. |
