Is your S-type supercharged? If not, you're not gonna take many names.

You can port the supercharger, get upgraded pulleys, ECU, drop in K&N filters and redo your exhaust. You could get near 500hp.

It is NOT the "R" version. they did not put the SuperCharger in S-type until 2003, of which this fella does not own in that he has a 2002. He has the 4.0 Sport.

The 2003 R was the test vehicle for the 04 XJR.
I bought the S-Type R 2003 Black on Black with Black Maple 4.2 liter SC in May 03, one of 2,490 made in entire year. I had every option available. I stole it off the lot for 58grand and bought the entended warranty for it and replaced a ton of stuff, best 2,800 bucks i ever spent, I even had the 800.00 wheel warranty that covered tires and rims till 75,000, the rims on those cars are junk, replaced all four of them 2 times each and the front left 3 times at NO cost. I sold it last July for 10grand, it had 157,000 miles on it, It looked brand new and ran brand new. everything wored I easily spent $30,000 dollar in maintaining it. The car was a beast, i had a smaller pulley, exhaust, coldair that I piped in for the wheel well and that was it. The car actually went 156mph. but the REAL Gitty Up was between 40-130mph, a rocket.
