new XJ8 owner, wanting to add some boost
 

'sup everyone, I'm Stoffer my wife just sold her Expedition and purchased an '04 XJ8, it's got a couple supercharged trucks to compete with with so I'm wanting to swap an XJR Eaton M112 setup onto the n/a 4.2 to pep up it's low end short comings...


I currently live in Northwest TN, but I hail from the Great State of Texas










anyway, since :icon_worthless:



lets get on with it

this is what it shares the garage with:




up first is my 2001 F-150, it has a cold air intake, a throttle body spacer, a nascar edition battery (for the 15mph faster top end speed), a chip in the clear coat (for more performance) and a cat back exhaust :icon_hyper:






please ignore the stance, the traction bars and intercooler jambed into the front bumper as they are just there for looks :icon_couchhide:

this is our 2003 F-150, Harley Davidson Edition, it is stock pullied and makes 15# of boost :icon_angel:

The XJ guys will welcome you warmly I'm sure

You might find the off topic good for fun, maybe check out the mug shot thread and add yours?

Some really good guys and great techs, top vendors offering good pricing levels and great service, and more to come....all good

In the meantime I've upgraded you manually to full forum access so you can better view the site:)

thanks for the warm welcome, I appreciate the upgrade early




I actually found this site when searching for the upgrades, I'm hyper active on lightningrodder.com and F150online.com :icon_playing::icon_playing:






I also am a site admin/moderator on screen-fx.net so if anybody need a custom signature, go get one...

thanks for the warm welcome and the early upgrade (I just moved 'Stateside after being in Europe for the past few years)


i'm hyperactive on lightning rodder and F150online, with a touch of screen-fx (they make custom signatures for free). I found the site here while gogling the desired upgrade for my wifes car and it looked friendly so I figured I'd come play
