I respectfully disagree - wait at least 2000 miles for your JK's CPU to "learn" your driving style, and for the engine to break in... thinking back, it took about 2500 miles before mine was ready, and I knew it was ready because it was shifting smoother and my MPG jumped about 1-1.5/gallon.

I agree that running it stock for a while, baseline as you say, is prudent just to see that everything functions as it should. I really don't think opening up the airway and using a tuner to benefit the newly opened airway is crap. I have done it on other suv's and have talked to hundreds of other JK owners who have done the same and I have no doubts about doing this, just when is the best time really.

damn, you guys really jump into it, lol
I, for one, don't have money, nor a jk (for the time being) so I'LL personally have to wait a few months between mods just to save up the money. but I've got a lengthy list of different brand names for different parts and what not, very much researching and mentally planning exactly what I'm going to do. it'll be a culmination and a lot of hard work, and will require much patieince on my part, but the end result will be extremely pleasing to the eyes, reliable on and offroad, and won't be lacking in the pants, er, I mean under the hood, :p
