hey, I hear with the XR6T BA ll they are sensitive to mods, like if a full exhaust is fitted to the vehicle is mucks some readings up and doesn't let it boost or run above 3000 RPM, is this true ? it sounds a little innacurate to me but I just wanted to figure everything out before I start modifying my car!

thanks heaps

It is true mate, these cars love to go into limp mode.

When you fit a gull exhaust you'll need a custom tune too.

Could of been worse mate you could of got a 5 speed manual, built 4 speed autos have the ability to run a ten second pass and if looked after shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Oh and welcome to the forum.

thnx mate. Yeah Im happy with it, the quicker shifts with longer gears keeps me well infront of a standard manual. But who wants to play standard.....some very helpful ideas here and its good to know I'm not the only one with these questions

Hi , I have a stock FG ute and im not at all worried about what the power output might be but I want to run low 12's at the strip .(I have a pb of 13.6 so far)

I also use it every day as a work ute so it will need to be very reliable still.

Does anyone know what sort of kw rating I will need to run these numbers?

thanks Ben
