Slightly North of the 49° th. Parallel... In HongC
http://slrmotorsports.com/shop/l/Jeep-Liberty-2002-2011-Performance-Chip.html
A gain of 60 Horse power and 60 foot pounds of torque...
And all that for $69.99!
WOW.
Surly they jest!
I wonder how many people have been suckered into this?

Just for ***** and giggles I sent them an email requesting actual dyno results and testimonials from any four wheel drive magazines!

Needless to say that I have yet to hear from them!

Ya more snake oil. Real world tuning is never just a chip.
Many spend thousands to gain 60 hp for sure.

I recall watching some TV program the other day where they added hundreds of dollars of performance mods to some car and only gained 3 hp. What's with that?

On a similar topic, I know you can probably improve performance by buying better spark plugs for your Libby, is it possible to buy a better fuel injector, maybe one from a different Chrysler motor?

Old school to increase performance/HP, was gears,headers,free flow exhaust, cam, lifters,pistons, carb, and advanced ignition curve, without need or concerns for OBDII & passing emissions.
New school-Limited to OEM settings based on too many "fixed" computer parameters in a effort to control emissions, throughout,air,injector(fuel) exhaust,timing, including ******.
Unless you can re-write /design the engine, and computer book of settings, it is find a new motor and management system. Now who wants to buy new rig & trial a Pentastar?
I know the 3.7 is not the best for fuel economy, but performance is not that bad, and it is reliable overall!
If you want a red light runner buy a corvette. If you want to really haul something heavy, buy a diesel or large 8 PU.
Spark Plugs do not increase horsepower.
Compared to stock,I would like to see a torque curve /dyno report with 4:10s...anyone...

Somewhere between being sane and insane!

Today it cost's big $$$ to get a honest increase in HP.Not only from programming but the parts needed to take advantage of that programming.

For a honest 60hp increase on a 3.7 it would cost you several thousand dollars if keeping naturally aspirated and many thousands more $$$ on a engine dyno(not chassis dyno).

Just wait until I get my Ronco Boost-O-Matic Super-Turbine Aspirator installed!

A gazillion horsepower and torque measured in foot-tons!

I'll be 5 miles down the road before you can ask, "what was that"?
