Whether turbo or stroker, I don't NEED much extra power, but more begets more...

Oh, used to play with the Turbo Dodges...

Look up 4X4 Garage Magazine, Cherokee Edition. They did a picture documented build of a turbod 4.0L in a Cherokee. Somewhere like 692 HP @ I want to say 5200RPM and over 770 LB/FT of torque @ 2300RPM I believe. Good article and decent pics.

A turbo'd xj would be sweet to own, a xj has heating issues as is I cant imagine its be any better with a turbo, a buddy of mine has a srt4 and his temps shoot up if hes running it hard
