I think the title says it all. The tires broke loose in 1st gear a little, and the 2-3 shift wasn't real smooth. Anyways, here it is for your viewing pleasure.

I'm still exploring the limits of the engine, even at 23k miles. I just recently replaced the head gasket and got the timing corrected, both of which made a noticeable increase in power. With a Crane 753905 cam and stock valve springs, I'm still unsure what the safe rpm limit is for the engine. Judging by the video, it's at least 4750 rpm's.

Re: Stroker 0-100 video
That's what I'm thinking. Hopefully, with the stock springs and the right oil, the Crane cam will last a long time!Flash wrote: so the crane cam is still in there.......23,000 look like the stock valve spring are holding up!!!!!!

I think if I held each gear until 5k rpm's, I could drop a decent amout of time off the acceleration.

Re: Stroker 0-100 video
For a comparison, Here's a video of my XJ when it had the stock 4.0.

The stroker is about 3 seconds faster to 80 mph.

Re: Stroker 0-100 video
Nice--roughly 7 secs to 60 and 19 to 100(we know you can do better: 6&17, lol). How much does your xj weigh and what tires are you running? I'm sure I've read about yours already, but sometimes it all blends together. It looks like you had a nice port job--did you do it(dimensions, tips)?

Re: Stroker 0-100 video
Hmmm, I'm not sure what my XJ weighs. It is an SE model, 2 door, power nothing, so it should be one of the lighter models made. I'm running 225/70/15 General Altimax tires. I ported the head myself, and am very happy with the results. I had a complete valve job done, new valve seals, and had .010" shaved from the head. I ran the head on my 4.0 for about 80 miles before swapping in the stroker and could feel a noticeable difference from the stock head. As for the specs, I basically followed Dino's webpage.gradon wrote:Nice--roughly 7 secs to 60 and 19 to 100(we know you can do better: 6&17, lol).

I put at least 25 hours into porting the head because I used a Dremel tool with a sanding wheel. It worked great for precision work, but was very slow. I would recommend using a die grinder to speed up the process.
Oh yeah, I'll have to make a few more attempts at getting down to that 6&17 second margin. I still plan to add a larger TB, lager exhaust and some type of FMU to tune the A/F ratio.

Re: Stroker 0-100 video
Yeah, once you get those mods and fmu you'll have those #'s for sure. I've known about Dino for about 2-years now so I know the knowledge that he contributes(and I still formulate my own opinions, even if it is just ego or 1-upmanship, lol). I'll keep in mind his suggestions when porting this head, but my CC will be polished. I swear that damn 2nd gasket that Borla supplied had me 2nd guessing as to what we could port the heads out to--I had to ask and prod for info, just to make sure. I have a 96 se 2dr 2wd w/ ax15, 3.55s, Auburn LSD, and 255/60/15s, so I'll be right with you on being on the lighter side of the XJ weight spectrum. I do need to get base numbers from my current setup, which to me seem close to what you just posted, so I might join one of my bros and his friend to drag his 240 and their(combined effort) ~300hp 88' 302 mustang that they just built(I think my post-stroker XJ will give them a run for their money), so maybe I can set up a camera to record it. They did just run their min-mod 2-dr 2wd ax15s (my old 92 and a 93 that I got my bro hooked up for $600 w/130K, both with cat-back exhausts) to low 17 quarter miles(probably in the 80mph region) as well as my bro's 240 and his friend's 93 no-turbo MR2. I sold my 92 XJ to my bro's friend for $500. I bought it for $2K with 142K and took it up to 277K. He's got it to 295K right now and it beat his MR2 by .2 sec. I almost sold my 94 block that I'm going to stroke for $300+ get that 92 block to my bro's friend but there was no way I could deny that block going to 300K (and it won't be by May) so I have to tear up my 94 block w/ 120k that I feel was stronger than my 96 is with the same mods(before I put the 3.55s in). Anyhow, I feel mine can do 60 in the high 6s and the 1/4 in the 15s(maybe I'm optimistic, but I have at least 230hp and 270 ft/lbs at the flywheel, prior to stroker). Oh yeah, I already have a die-grinder and the porting kit(and I do know that that hard 25hrs was worth it).
