For you it'd be 703's, but you get a smoother idle and better throttle response. Depending on how well your stock injectors have been taken care of, you may see a slight increase in mpg's as well.

search function is your friend. Tons of threads on here about it. But, check for them in mid to late 90's neons and stratus/breeze/cirrus with the 2.0 4 cylinder. Injectors are right ont eh front of the engine and the last 3 numbers on one side will be 703.

You'll need something like this for the front so you don't tear the uni-frame.

A stock XJ is quite capable. So capable it may sometimes trick you into thinking you can conquer more than you can...leading to the need for recovery points...
