I see in your sig your trans is NV3550-5spd , I assume that's different than the typical AX-15?

Should be 3.73
I wouldnt bet my life on it but I'm pretty sure. My 3.73s in my 91 XJ Turn my 32s decently.

I think most of the autos have 3.55's, 3.73's were in the towing packaged xj's?

I think he means in the long run, like on the highway.

I drove a friends jeep home the other night from the bar and he is running 33 12.5's on stock gearing. Holy hell that sucked driving that thing home. After driving mine and then hoping in his I couldnt believe it.

As much as I think Mustangs are REALLY slow there is no way a stock XJ would ever come close to being as fast as one especially on the highway.

my dads old cj outran a mustang in 4wd, he was on 33s btw. I know this because i was in the passenger seat when it happened. If i remember correctly it ran a 12.23 on 1/4 as well. So it very may be possible. BTW check out this link. There seem to be some zjs running in the 10s stock. Just letting you know
