Video of a stock 5.0 xkr vs 4.2 xkr, what a difference, havn't a clue what their saying.
Jaguar XKR 1,0 km : 4.2L vs 5.0L - YouTube
Jaguar XKR 1,0 km : 4.2L vs 5.0L - YouTube
Xkr - 5.0 (510hp) - 12.6 @ 115mph
Xkr-s 5.0 (550hp) - 12.0 @122mph
On average ever .1 or 1mph on your et should equate to 1 car length so no wonder the 5.0 pulls so hard against the 4.2

Upper pulls replacement
If the XKRS is a bit gaudy for your taste, for relatively little investment, you can do the performance upgrades with some tasteful body modifications and have the car you want. (I also preferred the stock body, but wanted and did some modifications) The 5.0L engine really adds a lot of oomph to what was already a good performing car. I've enjoyed taking mine to the track several times, and can't wait to go next weekend with the upper pulley replacement and flash tune.
Does the upper pully do that much for the xkr? How much horsepower does it add

I have not done the tune yet, I have it, as the software for first one was not correct and I was sent a replacment, I just haven't had any time over the last few weeks to spend the time loading it. Depending upon which tuner company you use (ie; ETG, Eurocharged, Vmax) the claims are anywhere from 80-105hp gains over the stock 510hp. Some have suggested that tweaks in the exhaust system (such as the X-pipe of the XKRs) are necessary to extract the maximum gains. I hope to have some time this week, and then I'll report what I "feel." I have done just the pulley, and I'm not sure I can tell the difference.

For the tune to stick to a x-pipe is a necessity that is if you are loading the tune remotely.
However if it's a custom dyno tune no x-pipe is technically required however it's recommended due to the simultaneously firing of the left bank , plus it's good for a few extra hp & torque
