Maybe it's time for a custom tune. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/21494-xr6-takeoff/#findComment-318139 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got any g-tech figures to back up your observations? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/21494-xr6-takeoff/#findComment-318151 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

If you are judging it from seat of the pants feel, you may not be accurate in your assesment unless you are side by side with the SS from a standstill.

Jeff(DBOSS) said the same when he drove an N/A BA.Rob...I like doing this.
