The throttle body helped a lot getting started from a stop and it highway speeds are held easier.
You may be able to have them tune for the bigger throttle body. Other programmers do that for the Wrangler.

Well, butt dino works for me!

Talked to B&G on the phone this morning, their program is $399 + S&H.
The handheld is $499 + S&H

Not sure where I had the idea that they were only high $300's.

Oh well, I'll still end up with the best I can get.

Any dyno or predictions of how much horsepower and torque it'll add?
Hypertech is 24 horsepower and 24 torque on regular fuel
and can be had for much less than B&G.

B&G is a much better setup for sure

Not sure of numbers, I've scoured their site and there are no numbers for dyno'd liberties.
After all, we are a very niche segment in the offroad world.

What is your experience with them, Tom?

Throttle arrived yesterday:

I open it up to find it damaged.

I'm finally getting a return code for the defective part.
Safe to say I won't be using that particular eBay seller again.

Paypal is a wonderful thing, they take care of bad businesses like that. I had ordered some parts from a company, they sent me the wrong parts. Tried to contact them for a week with no success. Filed a complaint with paypal, the next day they were in contact with me to fix the situation.

Part sent back, ordering a new 4.7 throttle body today.
