If you're looking for cheap power, you've chosen the wrong platform.

Is English your first language?

XJs can do a lot stock. If you feel it's crappy and you're only running 31s you have some work to do. 23 years is a long time for **** to break: A "tune up" at this point includes pretty much everything.

If you want some help you're going to let us help you. A good start would be proofreading before you post and answering what you can.

Yup. Hard to get people to understand.....

Those of you who trusted and went for it, spent a whole hour of your time doing it, know the results.

If after you get her running good ,then put some injectors like the 703's or equivalent,then do the crank sensor advancement trick. Both of these upgrades were both inexpensive and well worth it .

I think you can still get the good quality advanced (high altitude) CPSs at RockAuto. PC307.
