Default 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?
