Road Test &
First Impressions
During the initial run the performance
improvement is immediately noticeable.
The power band seems larger and acceleration
is smoother and more confident.
Driving the Jeep on the highway feels
better. Merging into traffic doesn't
seem as hair raising as before. The
Airaid should only improve the Jeep further.
Addition - The dyno test surely
either proved we don't have any feel for
changes or something else was up...see the
Dyno Test.
We all still swear there is something there!
Map switch
The Unichip is equipped with a switch that
affects the Jeep's timing. One
selection is less aggressive and the other
is more aggressive. The lesser setting
allows use of lower octane fuel but will
sacrifice some power. Running the more
aggressive setting without proper fuel may
cause the computer to generate a Check
Engine Light condition. The directions
provide further details about the switch and
it's settings.
Tuning
possibilities
Unichip offers a tuning option with the
Unichip that uses a Windows based PDA with

Together with
OK Auto we had an opportunity to test out
the
Airaid and a
Unichip
performance chip on a dynamometer at
G&S Autoworks
in Oxford, NJ. The results
were interesting.
