We both went on the green and it seem to nab me by about a qtr of a car length, it did not sound stock. I was just wondering is the xr6 T supposed to be much quicker than the xr8 beacause when I spoke to the guy he said it was mostly stock. I have a BF Mk2 Xr6 Turbo Auto ZF with only mods being....Typhoon CAI, K&N. The latest dyno at C&V showed 220 RWKW. I would assume that I would have beaten the xr8 (especially because the guy saying it was stock). IS IT TIME FOR AN EDIT ??????? or will that just chew more petrol and burn more tyres ??Also do ford know that it has been edited because I still have 2 yrs of warrenty and want to keep it that way.Is currently running 4.5 Psi Stock (how does that compare) .....would I be able to increase that to around 7-9 safely with no changes to anything except obviously the EDIT. (thus being a typhoon)Thanks guys I have been pondering this for a while and im not too sure if I should do it. I am looking forward to your answers....Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
