Default 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



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






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























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

Thumbs up

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






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
