So the verdict looks to be the 62mm.

I noticed there seem to be 2 different techniques when boring the 4.0L throttle body. Some shops only cut below the butterfly and reuse the oe butterfly, some cut the whole bore and use a new aftermarket butterfly.

What do you guys think about each or what do you think a mildly daily drivern stroker that does very little off-road and pretty much pulls a boat a few times a year?

Depends how much you want to spend. Going through the butterfly means a new butterfly plate will be needed.

strokedjeep sells a throttle body fully bored with new plate for $90 + $70 core up to 63mm. I would be sending my TB in so there would be no core. Other sites are the same price and still using factory butterfly. I can't wait I just got the truck running great put a new upstream o2 sensor,cleaned the IAC and it runs like a different animal.

Next the 63mm throttle body, 26lbs injectors then sbc valves and a more aggressive camshaft.

I should point out that i recently went from Double platinum NGK plugs to some Champion RC9's and it made my ping go away completely and made my sensitive throttle much more manageable.

I'm bout due for some new rc9s. Though some people have me curious about the obd2 Jeeps liking ngks--a combo I've never tried(I really liked the autolites in the 96 pre-stroker).
