Guys, I have recently purchased a 2001 XR6 VCT Tickford falcon and am looking at a few ways to improve take off and mid range performance. I know threads are all over the place in this forum, but I am hoping it can be sumed up on this thread. I have already installed a k&n panel filter, but I dont have the tickford logo on the snorkel, but the badge is all over the car elsewhere. I'm based in adelaide, so JMM headers may not be a compromise. I also want to keep the stock cam, as I know the VCT motor can be a b**ch for performance enhancements. Anyone have Pace 4480's on their VCT and are their any gains? Sorry for the long thread, all your responses are appreciated.

umm the best ppl to talk to about the AUVCT is jmm from what i hear they aere about the only ppl who have gooten good gaisn from this motor
a good exhaust will help for sure. and the tickford snorkel allows for more airflow and u dont have it ti is from teh au3xr8

The 4480's, having a 6-3-1 design and a smaller and longer primary, are better suited to making power higher in the rev range. They will be an improvement over stock but I reckon the 4499's will give you more gains down low where you want it. The AU cats are pretty good so keep yours and from the cat back get a mandrel bent 2.5" exhaust and fit the tickford snorkel from Ford for about $28.

pacemakers are made in adelaide afaik maybe u could go to them and ask them for there recomendation
