I'm from wisconsin, actually.

Just saying, my experience is those guys either go with minimal mods, or mods you could never afford.

The only upgrade in their dyno was the intake. Which makes it a moot point and a poor example

1. Cold air intake
2. 62mm throttle body
3. Cylinder head upgrade
4. Cat-back exhaust
5. Exhaust header

All of the above upgrades in the article indicated + numbers on the dyno, from what I read, no? Shouldn't u have capitalized Wisconsin?

It's an XJ, save your money and invest it wisely in growth mutual funds.....by the time u reach 60, you should be a millionaire, several times over.

For me, I blow ALL my cash on my XJ. I'll give you this advice. DO NOT buy a Banks headder. I have cracked 3 and they SUK at customer service. and... it's about 200 a pop to have them installed. I can't do it myself because I have huge hands and forearms, so there is no reaching the 3 middle bolts for me.

I really wish they would just give me my money back so I can get a different headder... I am soooo frustrated with my Banks decision...
