Default 0-60 Times!

Okay all what is your 0-60 times in your Xj's? I messed around last night and got a few runs in. My 99 XJ has lost alot of power from what it used to have.

Best run I got was 8.27

I still dont know why I have lost so much power. I almost think my trans just aint cuttin it. I mean I have towed alot with it and motor wise I dont see why it would have lost alot of power.

When I had 31" mudders I could pull out and 1/2 throttle it and turn the tires easy. Now I have 245/75/16"s and am lucky to turn them over once on dry pavement. I even have a fresh tuneup with wires,plugs,dist cap,button! I just cant figure it out.

Yeah I was thinking the same kinda. What number would I be looking for? What is the stock psi for a 99 Xj? Motor is real smooth and quiet with no misses.

Faster than some, Slower than others. 0-60 not important for a Jeep, Mr. Garmin says my average speed is 15 mph
