Here's something interesting for you Renix lovers:
HO myth buster
Renix in 90 made 182 HP. HO in 91 made 190 HP. That's 8 HP difference.
HO only made more HP than Renix at higher RPMs and not a bit more torque. HO had 58 mm throttle body versus a 52 mm throttle body on a Renix and also had a better design header. See where I'm going with this?
The whole 8HP was not mostly from the head, but from the bigger TB and better exhaust manifold.
Put a 60mm TB from www.strokedjeep.com on your present head, eliminate the "crush" in your headpipe with proper re-routing, and go for it.
HO stands for Highly Overrated.

I have a 90XJ and a 89 MJ have had Jeeps for on/off over 50 years and I don't want a Jeep that requires a computer to tell you what is wrong with it. I do want something with an electronic ignition as they are hotter, thus better burning and also reliable. The Renix fills the bill.
