Look at the size of the injectors and throttles. That's why it's listed for an 8.

Perfect size... bad price!
I think when/if I go the EFI route I would be better off grabbing the head/intake/throttlebody/injectors/computer/wiring/ect off a 4.0L 91-95 Cherokee ( if my data is correct ) ! |

We have had a few at the Nest do the Howell upgrade. IIRC most were pleased once the bugs were worked out.

Yeah, I guess it's not "Rambler priced", but it's a complete closed loop system. |

But much less than the MPFI conversion from MoPar.

The Mopar system would be my last choice. No tweak capabilities if the future setup changes. Howell would be the way to go. The Holley is a plain bare boned open loop so can't even be compared on the same field to me at least. |

Turbo City makes a GM parts based 2V TBI system for Jeeps, but it's not cheap either at $1860 (http://www.turbocity.com/product_info.php?cPath=16_21&products_id=25). It looks very much like the Howell kit, but the Turbo City kit appears to use a larger throttle body and a 4V intake instead of adapting a smaller TB to the Jeep intake. That's why the price difference. For a modest power boost but a marked increase in drivability the $1100 Howell kit seems to be the best bet. I haven't tried either, of course.
Holley used to make a 2V kit for smaller engines, I guess there wasn't enough demand to continue them. |
