RE: Jet Chips/JBA Headers - 4.7L (2000/2001)

Matt,

Since both TB's are close in size, just swapping them at the show should
work. If you can...see if you can get at least 20-30 miles in between
dyno runs with the TB swap. (If you can't, don't worry about it.)

What I normally do is bolt on the modification, reset the PCM, drive it
for 75-100 miles, and then take it back to the dyno. Since the Dyno is
climate controlled in Austin, I'm not worried about slight variances.

Yep, Thanks to DakotaUSA, I'll have a set of the JBA's on loan for the
Chrysler Nationals in Carlisle, and that means they'll be in the Dyno
"Shootout" from Mopar Muscle Magazine! (Hopefully some magazine
coverage, again) I should have the F&B TB by then as well.

Bernd, need a recomendation, as you know I have a good baseline dyno, as
is, now I will have headers and the TB to bolt on, however, I really
don't want to bolt both on at the same time, for dyno purposes. So, with
that in mind, this is what I'm planning to do, Bolt on the headers and
the F&B TB ASAP, then once I arrive at the show, put my Hughes Engines
68mm TB back on to dyno the Headers, then bolt the F&B TB back on and
pull again. What are your suggections??? anybody???

Thanks, Matt

Confirmed with JBA...yes, they DO fit the 2001 models. They are
available,
$470 for ceramic coated ($360 for standard) and the turn around time is
approximately 3-5 days on standard version and 7-10 days for the ceramic
coated.
