I give up with it.. changed tunes to see if it was any different but went slower again around 106mph..got my best 60ft though on 20's 1.8 which I thought was good.. best I got was a 12.6 @114mph. car was not missing a beat and was strong in every gear so I got no idea what is up with it.. only did 4 runs then went home..

There has to be a reason for it not pulling the mph would expect at least 120 maybe a touch more???

I pulled the cat and rear muffler off yesterday to see if it was blocked but all was good so I dont no what it could be apart from the tuning?12.695 with 1.846 60ft @ 108 mph I got yesterday there seems to be no top end at all and I think that shows on the dyno sheet above with only 358 @17psi seems to a restriction somewhere I think???

Did you give the cat a rattle, the biscuit could of moved sideways under load & then settled back after. Sounds stupid but wouldnt be the first time? Mine sh!!t its self after only 3000klm???

Theres alwyas teething problems with new setups. I'm sure they'll sought it out that's what they do & have proven themselves plenty of times so it'll be all sweet im sure. If you can keep those 60' like you have been when its all soughted it'll run some very respectable times!!! Im not exactly expecting miracles with mines either. To have it finished would be a good start. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/58628-new-short-motor/page/17/#findComment-924035 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see what you find. that's an unreal 60 that's all I have managed on mt's in an auto only thing is I was drivin in a skatin rink well might as well of been. Good work!!!
