apparently the GHIA V8 , has 220 KW..  (which I thought was weird since the Xr8 has 260.. (apparently different V8's..)

Twin cam v. Quad cam, don't know what else is different though.... or I am full of sh1t.....

The barra 220 is SOHC. It's only the Boss 260 that gets the DOHC.

Plus I believe the Boss motor has four valve per cylinder compared to three, hence the heads of the boss engines almost the size of the mopar HEMI heads! ;-) Im a deep down mopar fan, despite the Phoon..

Your dude at work gets points cos its a Ford, he loses points though because......."Talks Cheap, Let's Race."

Because I try to be responsible these days, I say get him and yourself along to a street meet at your local drag strip and smack that tar baby!

Fairmont V8's are Twin Cam(3V per pot I think 1 inlet 2 Exhuast))the XR8 and GT/GT-P are Quads cams(4V per pot)

P.S. The V8 will smoke you :blush: noting beats cubic inches :nono:

Yep, that is exactly what I said, it is a SOHC if you are only looking at one bank of a V8. However, as a V8 has two banks of cylinders with DOHC per bank, with my math, that makes it a Quad Cam.....

.... or am I still full of sh1t.....
