Simple/Budget Stroker Build 2000 WJ 4.0 to 4.5

The weird thing was that around the day after you posted the WJJeeps URL, the number of knock sensors changed to none.

right, that was because I emailed the page owner and asked him about his source of info. He sent me a nice email thanking me for "catching" his error. Little did he know that I was trumpeting his inaccuracies around like gospel. Anyway, it is solved now.

At least you got it fixed so other people won't have the same problem & glad you correct yourself for future searches too

Took the stroker to the dyno last week. I was a little disappointed with the results. Numbers came back 189 ft/lbs torque at 2900 RPMs and 130 horsepower at 3900 RPM's. Those were the actual numbers at the rear wheels. The tech said he was estimating my drivetrain loss with the auto and 33" tires at around 30% putting the torque up around 275 at the crank. I'm not complaining since I know I did a very low budget build but honestly, I was expecting more...

How does it run?

[rradford9]

Its running great. I've had 87, 89 and 93 octane in it and no pinging at all. The only thing I've noticed is if its in park and I rev the engine it sounds like its missing above 3500 rpms but on the road it never makes the clicking sound even up to max rpm's (4500 or whatever). I've got 700 miles on it so far.
