Well, you could always go with a MPFI conversion.  That will give you an honest 10-12hp gain and allow you to do most other mods.

Is there a "pre-made" conversion kit or are we talking about finding a donor vehicle and ripping the fuel and intake off that.  I ask because I have a 90 yj and am always looking for some way to improve the performance.

You've got to salvage everything from a donor.  If you have a high mileage engine it might be worth it to jsut swap the whole engine, otherwise, you do what's needed.
