Default 2008 Viper Throttle body to be installed today on my jeep. will keep updated

My Viper Throttle body says it will be delivered today.
when i get home today i will put it on and let you know the initial feelings before and after.(also will update later on with long term)
I will have pictures as well.

This is going to be installed on a 2011 completely stock engine(no superchips,or aftermarket parts on the engine)

Before the Viper TB
I get anywhere from 14.5-16MPG in the city mostly due to my driving habits
Highway i get about 17-18
im also on 33's with 30psi

I've subscribed, too. Just out of curiosity since I've been running one on my '10 for 4-5 months with no issues.

Subscribed. I understand a lot have had no issues while others experience loss of power after cruising 70-75mph.

after hooking it up you can tell there is a difference in sound, also it has a faster response time when you push the skinny pedal.

i only drove it on the highway for 30 miles got up to 80 with no problems no CEL or anything just yet. so im going to drive it to work the rest of this week and check out what my MPG is like compared to the 14.5-16 mpg i usually get
