My 98 is all stock for now. It does ok. Its better than you'd expect because the xj is fairly light. But they are definitely not road course machines haha

Are they good enough to beat the annoying civic and other cars that are prone for ricers I plan to give a even 300 horse power.

Yea. They have around 220-230 lb/ft of torque though. A good stroker makes 300 ft/lb fairly easily.

LOL. If your plan is to use a Cherokee to race ricers, I think you may be better served by another type of vehicle.

Well not racing my plan is,
To paint it black or with some rhino linear
Make look at red neck as h*ll XD
Blast country music next to these cars when they laugh change it to back in black
Rev it (I plan to put headers if it's possible and flow-master on it and well pump it up to 200 horse power) and get to the speed limit the fastest! LOL the police are relay loose here!
