@jeeplaredo2004 that's what i was thinking of putting on my wj with 2" bb to try to maintain good handling with no death wobble because i travel at highway speeds a lot and don't want to compromise the handling. how does the bb handle.
gotta hit 6 rpms with it. cant tell how it sounds from 2.. but hell im a muscle car enthusiast. enthusyest.. enthusiest.. fuck it, i like seein shit goin fast
yea man thumbs up to your mods and do it yourself and wat not, but it does seem a bit on the slow side considering your heavy mods..im a lil skeptical bc all I see is a CAI and hear an exhaust cutout but no cam lope of aftermarket cam..? cammin does require more than jus lifters and a cam also...adds to the skepticism
hmm.. suprisingly (given this is youtube) i havent seen any of these kinds of comparisions, but im gonna put this out there anyway.. i dont think the idea was to build a vette eater out of a grand cherokee.. extra power is always fun to play with if ya got it.. but, im curious to know how that cam affected off road ability.. i'm sure the factory setup was better for low end grunt where ide assume you would need it offroading. especially with an auto trans... im lovin that jeep btw, looks great!
@WheresMyXR8 Thanks man. i appreciate it. i guess to me it added better throttle response but at the elevation im not sure if any of my stuff added noticeable power improvements. this video is old and ive changed some things around on it. mostly cosmetic but installed a real muffler thats fully welded. to answer your comment its still the same off road. though in 4 hi its never been awesome at being quick to respond at slow speeds. thats where 4lo comes in. ha ha
Thanks for sharing. I have an 97 xj sport. Was thinking of putting a cam in cat back exhaust. I think the elevation hurts you plus i'm not so sure having a hollow cat is good....I think you need some back pressure. I've driven both and the performance is night and day difference in the XJ 's compared to the Grands. I think mine will do 0 to 60 in about 8 or 9 seconds. Just surprising the difference a little weight makes eh?
do you think you could do me a favor and unplug the fan and check the ignition to see if you get a check engine light? I'm trying to trouble shoot my fan never coming on! I've tested the fan itself and it works, the temp sensor seems to be ok, the fan relay is fine, so next I'm checking to see if there is some messed up wiring. If you could unplug it that would be great! It's located on the left side of the fanbox!
you should try topping the revs....i believe you'll get better acceleration.
I suggest you do some mods to the valves, intake and exhaust ducts in the head too....your cam is asking for more gasoline but you haven't "cleared" the way for more gas intake nor exhaust.
@hsp692 Well it is a bit tricky keeping timing right, which we had to have a dealer adjust the timing after the install. and at my elevation i didnt notice alot but did some, maybe not real noticable if your not real intune with it. the main reason i did mine is that my lifters needed replaced so i did the cam while i was there. Its not a real great upgrade for all the time spent on it.
did you do ur cam or did u have people do it for u? im gonna get the mopar purple performance cam and wanted to kno if its possible to do it myself without pulling the engine
@jeeplaredo2004 just to let you know the comp cams are some of the worst for jeeps 505 makes a much better cam and makes full kits that match unlike comp. Just letting you know if you make another motor i chouse the stage 2 for my 4.6 stoker and i built it myself.
bitch il take a pic of the weight on the door 94 explorer limited weighs 5100 lbs and i promise i would outrun your cherokee and if i didnt i have somethin else for you
were u flooring it when u did ur 0-60? it seemed really slow... i have a 95 grand cherokee with the 4.0 and all i have for engine mods in an upgraded ignition system and platinum plus spark plugs and mine seems like it would b way faster then urs.
and yes i no u have alot of extras taggin along on it but still it just seemed really sluggish for being cammed and everything
@jeepinit32 yes it was floored. it is slow but the elevation is hurting it to. plus its amazing how much wind resistance the lights and such cause, i took them off a while back and its alot better!
is that the 260H cam from compcam? thats the only one i can seem to find and also. do i need to do any kind of valvetrain upgrades? like roller rockers,long rocker arms, etc etc or did you just drop it in and you where good. the cam is going into a 1994 jeep wrangler 4.0 and didnt know if i had to do anything else to the engine
@tmaxxmonster2 im pretty sure its the Xtreme 4x4™, X4250H-13 Great Torque & Smooth Idle for Fuel Injected part number 68-232-4. All i did was replace the lifters with them comp cam. the lifters were also comp cam. its recomended to do lifters sense they wear to match the cam lobes sp if you get new cam to already worn lifters so its asking for trouble. plus mine were clicking. other than that, everything else is stock.
@oxoMiniMeoxo yeah thats right. you have to call them and tell them the year its for if its past 1997 and they will custom grind one cause the cams a bit different for the H.O 4.0s in the Wjs and newer jeeps
@JDMGTP you know..im not sure why they only shift there. the specs on them say they redline at 5000 but all the jeeps ive ever seen only shift at 4500 to 4600 rpms
@JDMGTP 4.0 arent very high revving. they are made for low-end torque. the gauge cluster makes it look like it should go higher because it is out of an Overland. which has the 4.7L H.O V8 and does rev higher
I LOVE IT MAN haha i got a 99 wj laredo its black and its hella clean im hoppin to do some upgrades to the engine like that and as well as some exterior upgrades but nothin lyk this haha cuz mine is rwd and that wudnt m8k sense lol orr mayb ill just trade it in and get myself a 2004 overland? Lol
@Calimustang86 yeah man the v8 h.o. is a hella fast. it does a 0-60 in the mid 6 second range. I have the exact same car you have with the inline 6 and i got the 0-60 time down to 7.5 seconds with no mods. Check out my video
Haha yea, I've already ordered a Doug Thorley split-header for it, so I can run true dual exhaust. Next on my list is an K&N Air Filter Kit and I'm gonna call Comp Cams to see what I need. One step at a time I guess.
@drippinblood28 oh got ya..i dont know the model but its the only one under the amc jeep engine for fuel injection..the rest of the cams are for carbs only. its says in the title "for fuel injection"
@MiStaVP05 Hey thanks man. Yeah the cam just made it a bit louder but kept the same note. it was a dynomax turbo s muffler and not cat. its the only comp cam that Comp Cams makes for fuel injected jeeps and its really nice.
Hey, i have an 04 WJ as well. Its the 4.0 Special edition... I noticed you changed out the guages and I would be careful because the I6 isn't meant to have the RPMs much above 6K thats where the Redline is on the I6 guages... Just be careful and don't blow the engine... Other than that nice Jeep I like the look!
@moffitt121 Hey man. Thanks for your comment. I was worried to when i put them in but then realized the computer will shift it no matter what the gauges show but they do read accurately. it took getting use to to have it shifting before the redline on the new gauges. Its well worth it if u can find a set at a junkyard.
Nice rig and setup I have the same one only its a 01, so you wish you got the 4.7H.O. I have a 4.0 and when I had it in 4WD in December and Feb. it was pretty gutless when I had passengers with me. it does well in the snow but has no power.
@640101vh hey thanks for the comment. yeah i do and dont wish it was the H.O. it would be fun power but i love the strait six reliability. plus i think it would be cool to build a 4.0 that was just as fast. I think the WJ are set up for comfort and not towing or power so i think the engines got power but is losing it all in the gearing an drivetrain. my next mod will be somethin with the tranny and gears probably. you have any vids of your jeep?
@jeeplaredo2004 actually no, I just got it back from the shop, was in there for 6 weeks. had to rebuild the Tranny and get a new fuel pump, were pretty expensive repairs, I was planning on adding a few mods, but after spending alot of money the repairs, I'll probably hold of alittle while. most of the time it has enouth power to satisfy me,I think they are/were great motors in Wranglers and Cherokees but the weight of the Grand Cherokees takes performance away. Is your gauge cluster from a
@640101vh yeah my gauges were a limited or overland. the junkyard is a great place to get parts. i took two front powered and heated black leather seats to replace my clothe ones for hundred dollars and they look nearly new!!
Looks good sounds great too man, making me miss mine pretty hard core,
I drove mine up to canada a year ago, got to play with it on the old stomping grounds, survived all winter up there, second ice/sleet storm in the south, i flip it, landed on the wheels and STILL drove it home... kept my brother, my dog and myself safe, going to pick up something i can get real silly with, probably a XJ or a ZJ... WJ's are just way to expensive to put stupid big lifts on just so i can stuff 35's under it...
Did you intall a thermostat on your jeep. In the video of yours i noticed how fast it was. other than elevation and drag what differences is yours to mine
@jeeplaredo2004, I have installed a 160 Degree Thermostat, and there is a significant performance increase with one in certain conditions; when the radiator has air flowing thru IE, you just stopped at a light, you'll FEEL a real world 10hp when you get on it, now this does absolutely nothing for fuel economy, EVER, a 180 degree will help mpg, but not as much power.
Another issue is the Check Engine light, it'll throw a code P1281, Engine Too Cold For Too Long, A good programmer will fix!
there are a few other items done, i wrapped the fuel rail with thermotec thermoshield insulation, (the exhaust manifold is right below the intake manifold, warming that thing up quite abit, colder denser fuel!) wanted to wrap the manifold but affraid of those 02 sensors.
Bosch Platinum 2 plugs, dont get 4's, didn't notice crap...
my throttle body was custom, half shaft counter sunk screws, sharpened blades and ported for additional airflow at partial airflow, no spacer though
nice! ive been thinking of wrapping things to keep heat away. i may do my intake and i like the idea with the fuel rail. Did you notice it run stronger?
can you give a real 0-60 sec with the throttle all the way open all the time or is that it? my stock jeep does about 8 and a half second 0-60 at about 100 feet above sea level. So what's you 0-60 time?
that was it. The meter was a little faster than reality. It was slow cause of the weight, drag, temperature and elevation. I would love to be able to drive it at sea level. So yours is 8.5sec at sea level. Do you have a video? I would love to see what yours is like?
@3colt3 i said the 2in spacer lift. did you mean mine was faster than yours at sea level or not cause the stock ones are rated 10 sec 0-60 at sea level.
@3colt3 suprisingly I have no mods. I'm only 16 and its my parents car, but I love it. Its a '99 with only 80k miles! What mod do you think I should get first or which has the most noticable power gain that is cost effective? Thanks!
Well my favorite easy mod would either be the cold air intake or the throttle body spacer. intake is 200-300 dollars, spacer is 70-80 dollars. But my overall favorite upgrade but a difficult job was the Camshaft. I would go with and intake for your first upgrade. i always love getting rid of the stock airbox. Hope this helps
yeah i would like to have one but the tire blocks the view now. the gauges was probably the easiest thing i've done to it. changing the oil was harder. lol. theres 4 screws holding them in and a plugin on the back and your good to go.
yeah. the gauges from mopar were 600 dollars so i went to a junkyard and asked for 2002-2004 overland gauge cluster and i got them for 100 dollars. the mirrors would be cool. I also got the leather seats out of a limited and now have both powered in the front. still not sure how to get the switches for heated.
The driver was but the passenger wasnt. they were just the fabric seats so i went back to the junkyard and for 120 dollars they got me two 04 limited seats that were in great shape. they bolt right on
If you did want power seats, all you need is the harness plug in from the body and rig it to power and ground then plug it into the new seats and your good to go. thats what i did on the passenger side.
Just like the stock originals. I had the thing at 110 mph once and could steer with one finger. Its amazingly stable at speed

there are a few other items done, i wrapped the fuel rail with thermotec thermoshield insulation, (the exhaust manifold is right below the intake manifold, warming that thing up quite abit, colder denser fuel!) wanted to wrap the manifold but affraid of those 02 sensors.
Bosch Platinum 2 plugs, dont get 4's, didn't notice crap...
my throttle body was custom, half shaft counter sunk screws, sharpened blades and ported for additional airflow at partial airflow, no spacer though

nice! ive been thinking of wrapping things to keep heat away. i may do my intake and i like the idea with the fuel rail. Did you notice it run stronger?

can you give a real 0-60 sec with the throttle all the way open all the time or is that it? my stock jeep does about 8 and a half second 0-60 at about 100 feet above sea level. So what's you 0-60 time?

that was it. The meter was a little faster than reality. It was slow cause of the weight, drag, temperature and elevation. I would love to be able to drive it at sea level. So yours is 8.5sec at sea level. Do you have a video? I would love to see what yours is like?

@jeeplaredo2004. Yea, I'm gonna try to get a video up somewhere, but I live in L.A. so its kind of hard to find a spot with no traffic or cops.
drippinblood28 1 year ago
I see. that is an issue. what mods have you done to yours? i just want to see what mine may be like if i got it to sea level.

@jeeplaredo2004 yo i just uploaded my vid...its faster than i thought
drippinblood28 1 year ago
@jeeplaredo2004 i retimed it very precisely using google and its 7.5 seconds from 0-60. Go check my video out again!
drippinblood28 1 year ago
I do see your 0-60 is a little less than mine at sea lvl

@3colt3 i said the 2in spacer lift. did you mean mine was faster than yours at sea level or not cause the stock ones are rated 10 sec 0-60 at sea level.
jeeplaredo2004 2 years ago
@3colt3 suprisingly I have no mods. I'm only 16 and its my parents car, but I love it. Its a '99 with only 80k miles! What mod do you think I should get first or which has the most noticable power gain that is cost effective? Thanks!
drippinblood28 1 year ago
@3colt3 i think mine is much faster 40, but your mods help out around the 40 and up range.

Well my favorite easy mod would either be the cold air intake or the throttle body spacer. intake is 200-300 dollars, spacer is 70-80 dollars. But my overall favorite upgrade but a difficult job was the Camshaft. I would go with and intake for your first upgrade. i always love getting rid of the stock airbox. Hope this helps

Did you know the 99-04 Gc were prewired for an auto dimming mirror i changhed mine out it was really fast and simple.

yeah i would like to have one but the tire blocks the view now. the gauges was probably the easiest thing i've done to it. changing the oil was harder. lol. theres 4 screws holding them in and a plugin on the back and your good to go.
jeeplaredo2004 2 years ago
Cool i might look into changing mine out i would like to change my outside mirrors to heated.
chathamshawn 2 years ago
yeah. the gauges from mopar were 600 dollars so i went to a junkyard and asked for 2002-2004 overland gauge cluster and i got them for 100 dollars. the mirrors would be cool. I also got the leather seats out of a limited and now have both powered in the front. still not sure how to get the switches for heated.
jeeplaredo2004 2 years ago
So were your seats not power before
chathamshawn 2 years ago
The driver was but the passenger wasnt. they were just the fabric seats so i went back to the junkyard and for 120 dollars they got me two 04 limited seats that were in great shape. they bolt right on
jeeplaredo2004 2 years ago
Thats cool mine are not power so i couldn't do it plus my Jeep is Black so idk if i would wont leather
chathamshawn 2 years ago
If you did want power seats, all you need is the harness plug in from the body and rig it to power and ground then plug it into the new seats and your good to go. thats what i did on the passenger side.
jeeplaredo2004 2 years ago
