You could also get forged pistons and the motor balanced included with the T.I'd assume the typhoons intercooler would run out of capacity, and you'd need to change the boost controller as well. To be honest you are looking at similar money either way, although stage III T would have more potential because of its larger intercooler, better airflow and piping. Aps are probably looking at upgrades for the typhoon as well, but its going to be a 70K car either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In short,* my head said APS Phase II - costs much less than an F6 Typhoon* my heart said APS Phase II - is quicker than an F6 Typhoon* my soul said APS Phase II - the Phase II power delivery will be good for my soul With my mind, heart and soul all agreeing on the same decision outcome, how could I resist? Best wishes with your choice and I hope you glean some good insights shared by others here.Safe and happy driving...Dr Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I beg to differ as the distributor that supplyed the rods that are in Rumble(Geea's car) is the sole supplyer to Ford and they are billet rods Joe(xrsex) can confirm this as he is friends with the supplyer C YA JEFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gilto Guests Posted 13/10/04 02:09 AM Share Posted 13/10/04 02:09 AM All I know is the F6 will certainly turn more heads than an XR6T and there will be fewer.Will be one NICE ride!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
