Gawd, that Chryco stuff is even crappier than i had previously realized.
The question I have for you guys is, do you test mods with a wide band O2 meter? IF not, how do you know if you are solving a problem, or if you even have a problem?

You could increase the stock HP output of the '91-'95 4.0 by about 15% and still use the stock injectors without getting a lean condition. Once above ~220hp, the stock injectors can no longer keep up and the engine begins to ping.
Relocating the IAT sensor so that it picks up cooler air might richen the A/F mixture enough to lessen or eliminate the ping and avoid having to fit larger injectors if your engine's just running slightly lean.
I did that initially but in the end I went for Ford 24lb injectors anyway and ended up running too rich instead of too lean. At least they got rid of the pinging altogether. Fortunately I fixed the richness with a MAP adjuster by reducing the MAP input voltage below the stock 5.0v level.
