I have the same 07 model and would be interested in knowing the result of this upgrade (cats+ x-pipe + muffler + ecu )in terms of hp and torque, especially if you have the dyno charts

N/A 4.2 I went 13.7 @101.4mph with x-pipe,ECU tune & 100cel cats . (Different tune to Alex)
Unsure what I would run now as I have the heavier seats (performance seats) but also a 4.4L range rover engine which I installed.
I find these engines do respond very very well to a few mods considering stock they run mid 14s and 96/97mph

So hey, OP... two years on, have you supercharged your car by selling it and buying an XKR? lol...
Oh, and Brutal... Jag Specialties does make LS swap kits just fine. For the non-CANBUS cars. So no X150 swap. I spoke with what's-his-name a few years ago about it and he said no way, no how, not ever, not interested. As an aside, I think it's hilarious how he expects you to basically sign an NDA because his stuff is so top secret, like the first rule of Jaguar Specialties is don't talk about Jaguar Specialties. Anyway, been saying this for a while, but you totally could swap an LS in and retain the basic electrical functionality of the car and keep it road legal if you used relay logic to run the bare minimums- windows, locks, lights, horn, wipers, HVAC. Maybe seats, too? Dunno, don't care; that's been beat to death already. Not like anyone here's actually going to do it, anyway.

Did you ever install that Larini exhaust and get that tune? If so, what do you think?

2. There are literally thousand of great tuners and shops for the Mustang just here in the US,, The Jag less than a handful in the entire world.
3. Jag engineers go way out of their way to make the car as hard as humanely possible to modify or tune anything and to make everything as overcomplicated as possible.. Thier motto is its good enough , leave it alone and dont you dare work on it yourself.
My previous car was also a Mustang 2014 V6 convertible , stock it ran 13.8@101 or about same as the XK 4.2 Jag ,,
with Procharger and only 6lbs of boost it ran 12.5@115 or about same as 5.0 XKR that runs almost twice the boost in a bigger engine..
3800lb convertible with a puny 3.7 V6 that got 28-30mpg on the highway

Took me a weekend and basic tools to install it myself.
Something to be said for simplicity.

OMG. Other cars may be faster, some are better at cornering / handling (including but not limited to Porsches).
But how many real GTs are there around, and how many offer to travel in style like an XK/XKR convertible?
Still fast enough on public roads to get rid of your driver’s license or 3ven to get incarcerated… if you like that kind of behavior…
