i have a 95 yj 2.5 i just lifted it and put 33's i know my speedometer is off 5 mph but the problem is i can't get over 50 and when i shift into 5th it will only rev up to 2000 rpm is this normal? is there any thing i can do to get a little more power out of the old 4 banger

Did you regear it?

no its still 4-10

Those little 2.5's dont like running 33's with 4.10 gears. Going down to 4.56's will show you a big improvement, you'll get a lot of your power back.
