Not much point going beyond that, as I an no longer making power, and the lower plenum cant keep the air up to the motor in NA form... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a different car now that the motor has loosen.. Much more snappy, and with the exhaust the way it was, it was really pulling the motor down.. You can't expect and athlete to run his fastest while breathing through a straw... Now that the motor can get rid of it's exhaust gasses it has really changed the way this ute excellerates.. Still perfect road manners, but it's an animal when you put the boot into it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were to do it all again to get big HP I would go the XR6T or F6... I was forced into get a rebuild after I blew my motor at QLD Raceway.. I had the choice of a new motor from Ford, a rebuilt change over motor or get Rob Herrod to build it properly for less then the new Ford motor and same price as the exchange..... Pending on want you want expect to pay around 10 - 20K.. My rebuild cost is towards the lower end of the scale..... NOS would go very well with my motor.. If I were to do it, I would go 200hp at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
