Well done. A little bit into the 300 club is better than being a little bit under it!

Stock cooler and filter. I just put one of those F6 intake rubber things on the front of the airbox, that's all. Like I said - not many mods for a good outcome.

Yeah I was very happy with that number for $500. And it still did 100,000km no problems with fuel economy close to standard too. It's not so good now though!

Mine just made the power with injectors, walbro pump, tune and 4 inch exhaust into twin 2 1/2. I think the intercooler is the next restriction, but for one-off blasts it is great

I don't know what sort the cat was - it was supllied with the system. It was 4 inches in diameter and about 6 inches long

Hi to everyone. I have been a reader in the past, but decided to post after today's results. I have a BF series 2 xr6t with the auto. I am a regular at the Tassie dragway, and punt all my cars down the quarter. The BF stock ran 13.7 at 156km/h with 190rwkw. A generic tune over the net got me 233rwkw and 12.7 @173km/h plus a super street championship. Then last year I decided to bite the bullet and get a proper tune. The generic tune had been in the car for over 100,000km, so time for a change. I put 62lb injectors in it and had the tune done - with an increase to 273rwkw, but only a 12.6 at 179km/h. They also played around with the trans and stuffed the usual good shifts, so I was not happy overall with the result. Anyhow, I won the super street championship again, and remained the fastest xr6t over the quarter in Tas. So I decided last month to go for the next level. That resulted in tcp exhaust (4inch dump and cat, twin 2 1/2 after) , walbro pump, 4spot brembos and another tune. The exhaust is great - deep, a little bit noisier, and flows heaps. The pump is a little bit noisy. Took it to GTgarage yesterday and picked it up today and was greeted with 303rwkw at 16psi. WOW! The trans is all back to nice as well. I love the feeling now. It feels like a low 12 sec car now, and has all of the nice characteristics at low boost. The dyno also tends to read low: cars with 340rwkw run around 300 at the wheels on this one, so I feel it is more than the actual number.

Jeez Mike, I will have to get the wife's shopping trolley going hard if I want to keep my tag as the quickest xr6t in Tasmania over the quarter! I will be interested in the next cruise.

Justin gave me the heads up on this one, but I won't be able to make it. Doing the kingston fun run with the family, then got to hit the books for study (exams in 3 weeks). Would have loved to bring the green slug for a cruise.

The 5 speed is fine if you keep it stock. The 6 speed is better though. I don't like driving a v8 unless it's a manual. I have a turbo BF xr6t with the 6 speed auto, and it is fantastic for the turbo,but the v8 and manual is a better drive.

I have a BF II and ran 13.7 at 105mph with 210rwkw all bog stock when I first got it. Now with injectors and a tune only it runs 12.6 @112 with 277rwkw

I have got to say that I prefer the handling of the gts over the ford stuff, but I have not driven the new 335 boss motor yet. The front end tucks in nicely on the track, compared to the falcons that want to roll over at the front and understeer. I thought the review was fine, and it's good to see the ford take the crown. And as for mods - how about $10k on the gtp. I'm sure an intercooler and a smaller blower pulley will surely match an f6 with more boost. The limiting factor for both forms of boosted fords is traction.

droooool Me like muchly muchly

well done! Pics when you get it.

Got to love the way the bug just gets on with it. No noise, no flames out the exhaust, and it can stop at the end of it. I want one!

there is one exactly the same on carsales at the moment. Different number plate, so I am thinking it is the other neo coloured car
