jaguar xj6
 
alright guys i just picked up a 1990 jaguar xj6 vanden plas majestic for dirt cheap. it has a massive 4.0 inline six and a 5 speed auto trans. this thing actually rips pretty good and i wanted to know if any HMTers have boosted anything jaguar related. i cant find ----. i've seen a few that were spraying, one guy was actually sprayin a 125shot on a completely stock motor. i was thinking of using my holset hx40 on this badboy....what does everyone think?

Boost that biotch!

And don't ask me what that means unless you want me to squirt soda out of my nose again.
