Cool Custom XJR in Orlando Florida

Hi Jag lovers,

I am a newb to the forum.

I am interested in networking with others who are avid performance modifiers of 4.0 and 4.2 litre supercharged jags.

I own a 1998 XJR with a supercharged 2001 motor with several enhancements including a ported and boosted supercharger, 3inch K&N air intake and 2.5inch Magnaflow exhaust system.

Happy to discuss performance of my beast ofcourse. It has been run on the drag strip clocking a 12.7 second quarter mile time. It does 0-60 in 4.4 seconds which is faster than most cars on the road today.

It also has a number of other cosmetic modifications such as the optional BBS Milan wheels and updated nose.

I am particularly interested in any engine management system upgrade projects and experiences out there.

Cheers

This photo is prior to the updated nose. This set of wheels and tyres were for the strip. I will upload some more pics on my profile (my garage).

Welcome, from someone who takes the XJR to the strip occasionally as well

How much time do the drag radials knock off? And what is your best trap speed?

Welcome to the forum,

You'll find there's a few others around also determined to wring the max out.

Neat registration!

You may want to visit the S section a few of STR guys are keen on speed.
