aussie_geo Member 51 Member For: 18y 11m 29d Posted 16/07/06 09:58 PM Share Posted 16/07/06 09:58 PM Well a couple of points I would like to make.If its light blue of course its faster, this whole "red" thing is just a myth Your right there are some serious LS1's starting to get on the street. A mate of mine at work (a bean counter of all things) was sick of me bragging how I had demolished his midly modded, LS1 (300kw), got to the stage he just refused to even drive my girl .Well he has invested in a twin turbo setup, just got it finished for the Claremont show and whilst only running 8psi is claiming 450 KW. It is a good looking set up but unfortunately I could not go for a drive in it last Friday because of the rain and am now working up north.Real problem is he has challenged me for a run at the plex when she opens up again, and I am concerned. Me being a slow old fart I think he has me now. Oh well back to the ricers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/26896-the-light-blue-phoon-at-burswood-ls1-drive/page/2/#findComment-407670 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Ace Member 446 Member For: 20y 5m 10d Location: Melbourne, Victoria Posted 16/07/06 11:33 PM Share Posted 16/07/06 11:33 PM I had a run against a twin turbo LS1 monaro a few months ago and I hate to say it, but it sounded and went awesome. Having said that and mine being stock, I did manage to keep up with it until it really kicked in... I'd love to see what the Boss would be able to do with a couple of hair dryers hanging off it....

I can only give you my experience with it... The other thing with the LS1's (and I'm bagging them, I was going to buy one before I got my T) is that they have roughly 4 years worth of extra development against the XR6T's and 5 on the F6's... imagine where these cars will be given the same development time...Jack Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/26896-the-light-blue-phoon-at-burswood-ls1-drive/page/2/#findComment-407683 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask Youngy, Hiddeous or Ninka how much they've paid for their upgrades, and you'll find the GENT1000 or the GENTT kit is very comparable, but with more power to boot . It only takes 8-10 psi to make over 500rwhp on the LS1's.I knock around with plenty of those guys to know what setup's they run and how they go. Sure, the F6 might go ok on the street, but if it's numbers your after, the track is where it counts.And to be frank, the XR6T's / F6's in WA have a poor record considering the power they make.

Kimberley Scott www.australianflag.org.au Donating Members 6,763 Member For: 19y 11m 12d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 17/07/06 06:44 AM Share Posted 17/07/06 06:44 AM OK so what is the answer to the XR6T or F6 in making good numbers down the quater. Power obviousely, but plenty of people in here have that. Lessening the weight, but that is considered cheating unless it is purpose built drag car. Is it jsut a mater of more development time in getting power to the ground, or is a vastly complicated equation, that will take time and a lot of money to work out?Scotty Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/26896-the-light-blue-phoon-at-burswood-ls1-drive/page/2/#findComment-407863 Share on other sites More sharing options...
