Getting it flashtuned is probably your best bet, I suggest getting all your mods done first that way it only has to be flashed once, saving time and your money

yeah no probs, I love both fords and holdens, I just discriminate aginst certain models. The Boss motor goes well and responds well to mods. They go a lot better then most people think and the people who tend to knock have never owned one, what mods are you planning to start with?

For CAI you will want a Blue Power airbox, they are the best, SS Reductions not so much.
For exhausts the way I think is that anything is better than stock. You can go all out for a Difillipo system or there's Pacemaker, HM etc. I have Xforce on my car and am happy with sound, power and price. I don't have Xforce cats though, I got some Ballistic 100cpi units from Sureflow instead. Once you've done CAI and exhaust it's time for a tune to take advantage of all that. You can travel to Canberra and see the guys at Gentech in Mitchell, or if Sydney is preferred there is Autotech in Granville. Vic |

I Have a 6 speed with a full Di Filippo exhaust (headers, cats, and big boy system) sounds tough and gives it more poke, especially top end. Next thing on my to do list is the Blue power CAI, I wouldn't even bother with the SS inductions one, only other CAI I might consider would be the Herrod one. I wouldnt worry about the throttle body, value for money is s**t, so only upgrade if all other avenues have been explored. After I have my CAI i plan to flash tune it to make the most of my mods
