All I can say is what it did for MY 5.9 Limited...
It's up to you what you do with the info...
Why do we come to these forums ?
probably because most of us a skeptics at heart and
want to find the 'truth'
you have to consider the source...
if you don't know me.... well it's up to you...
if you've seen my post over the time I've been here...
then maybe you've got an idea if I'm a straight shooter...
After all, it's just a chat forum here
I just know that
after 100k miles I put on the FIPK...
after that long I KNEW how the truck reacted to MANY WOT starts!
the FIPK improved the advertised "Fastest Sport Utility" (at the time - I think it was touted at 0-60 in 7.3 ???)
Again...
the only back up I can give to those numbers were my seat of the pants after having drvien the Jeep for 100k miles and then adding the FIPK...
When the 5.9 Limited came out it was advertised as the fastest sport ute in 98 when I got it...
It was not dragster fast, but acceptable, I thought pretty good looking, and definetly note-worthy in the rough stuff off road...
SERIOUS hijacking of this thread and WAY OFF topic, but just wanted to let you know.... back to vacation now !

Hi all,
have had my X for over 1500 miles now and have had no problems as yet.
Open her up on the highway regular and I like what I feel. Plenty of power for a vehicle of such proportions and she don't sway for me.
Drove her through first snow on highway (approx 6 inches deep) at 70-75 mph in 4 Hi and didn't feel like I was ever going to loose control.
Was going to get an H2 Hummer and decided on the X. Im very pleased with my decision
