What are some 1/4 mi times from modified XJs? How difficult is it to get an XJ into the 13s?
My most recent was 14.70 @ 94.1 with my stock cam "poor man's" 4.6 stroker, full street trim, and 200rwhp/254rwtq on the dyno. Best ever with full street trim was 14.55 @ 95.2 when I had the Crane 753905 in my stroker (before one lobe and two lifters called it a day at 34k miles). This was with my XJ at a curb weight of 3450lb (all three skid plates and roof rack bars removed) with me at 175lb.
It's not impossible to get an XJ into the 13's with a naturally-aspirated stroker but your chances are much better with forced induction (including nitrous) on a stroker.

what's the advantage of forced induction with a stroker vs a 4.0?

My best time for my stock XJ was 17.4 @76mph, that was a Sac raceway
Miles dont really effect it that much if you take care of it. The guts of my 4.0 were flawless after 200k, and it never showed signs of lack of power.
