Another fun day. Great to see everyone again. No less than 3 XJSes !!
Having it at Cars & Caffeine was a great idea from Rob, thank you sir !
Well done to Rob and Marc for taking on the dyno runs and not breaking anything ! Post your numbers Gents.....
Looking forward to the next one....

Here are the Dyno Results. First one is from the Goodies Dyno (also at the event and also $75). It's a DynoPack and typically shows higher power. I'm putting out 313 at the rear wheels which (adjusting for the tranny) should be 389 at the crank. The second one is on the Superflow and shows Marc's numbers against mine. His is a 2006 that has the upper pully and xpipe/mina mods also he has around 70,000 more miles than on my 2004. Looks like he is pulling 25 more ponies at the rear wheels. I'm using this calculator to convert rear wheel hp to crank HP (out of the UK): http://www.mk5cortinaestate.co.uk/calculator4.php

Great July event
Massive turn out and fun too! Some new bay area Jags and owners too.
I think this is going to work! Great excuse to drive, eat and chat.
Let's keep it going! If you see a Jag - tell them about the forum and the monthly events!
Pics to follow or at least a zip file. Size limitations kill for uploads.

I want to get my car dynod on the same machine as yours and Marc's so we can compare apples to apples as we have some different mods planned

I may run mine again and get another baseline, just put on an X-Pipe muffler and wonder if it provided a boost. Also the car feels faster after the Sea Foam treatment for some reason.

Hi guys - the museum is right next to the Blackhawk Plaza and there are quite a few decent options for coffee/food in there. Check out the directory below.

Dear All
I took the liberty of contacting the museum to alert them to our planned trip...... I asked if we could have some space allocated to us for staging the cars........ I got a really nice reply......

Your email was just forwarded to me by my boss who has been out of the office and therefore, I’m sorry to get back to you so late. By all means, you are welcome to bring your jaguars up to the front of the museum and park them on the plaza if you like. I will inform the front desk to expect all of you at about 11 am on the 12th. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.

I think the plaza they are referring to is this one......
....... if so that will make for some really nice pictures. Looking forward to another great day out. See you there this Sunday @ 11am
