Hi Guys,

Had my XR6 turbo upgraded. Valve springs, injectors, exhaust. made a staunch 277rwkw.

If anyone wants standard turbo injectors for BA PM me.

Also I am going to get some new wheels for my car...22 inch. What are best to get?? Can anyone post pics of their ford with biggggg wheels??

My 20 inch wheels are also for sale, brand new condition, 5 spoke chromies fit AU-BA-BF. $2800, I paid $4000 for them. They are absolutely as brand new. Sydney area. PM me

Didnt they come with 240kw @ flywheel standard? And now with valve springs, bigger injectors and exhaust youve gained around 100kw @ flywheel?!!! :?

EDIT: just seen your sig..... 300 rwkw..... let me guess, K&N filter ? :wink:

I jumped the gun with my signature. the tuner promised 300rwkw. He reckons my 20 inch wheels at the moment cost me 20rwkw on the dyno??

Yeah it made 277rwkw on the dyno so about 350kw at the motor running 14psi and tapering off to 10psi up top.

What do you guys think this car would run??? mid 12s?

Im a bit poopy actually, i just sold a LS1 which made 281rwkw so I feel like im gonna be short on power.

I have the standard intake on it so maybe ill grab the typhoon intake snorkel and cut a whole in the airbox.

nice mods... 22 should fit.. with a bit of careful tyre sizing... but you will never sell the mags with out a description of the design of the rim/brand.. and pics...

I think the fat torque spread will ensure it feels like its not down on power over the ls1.

Mate you arent going to notice a 4KW differance... But if you arnt happy with the power readout just take it to another dyno workshop and get them to f**k around with the dyno settings to get 300rwKW :)
Plus, as More Grunt said your gonna have a lot more torque down low than what the LS1 had

Oh and your boost probably tappers off because you still have the std wastegate actuator. If you upgrade to say a 12psi one you should have no troubles.

What sort of exhast work got done???
