Remove the radiator cap, then install it on a Mustang or a Camaro, then go racing in said Mustang or Camaro.

Wasn't there a recent thread predicting their stock XJ would turn a low 15/high 14 second pass? Wonder how that worked out?

If you want to be faster in the 1/4 mile then i would recommend swapping out the rear end with one that came in a 4 cyl jeep because it has 4.10's. going from 3.55 to 4.10's will sure make you faster at the cost of gas mileage.
