Ah I see: "assume" and "pretty sure". I know because I see it every day.FPV's new engine is not a post production bolt on - it is assembled as is from the start before being shipped across to Ford to be assembled into vehicles, just like the old Boss, and the turbos, and every other car we make (which is why I always laugh at those FPV owners who think they have special cars compared to those of us with Ford badges but I digress!)

Dillz Three pedals are better then two..

I also heard a rumor the SC's will run out of puff at 10-12psi? Any truth to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also heard a rumor the SC's will run out of puff at 10-12psi? Any truth to that?12 psi on top of 5.0 ltrs is still going to be pretty good, we tuned a low comp 5.4 with 13 psi a couple of weeks back and it made 384 through the hi stalled auto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

400KwXr6t Member 129 Member For: 17y 2m 27d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 17/09/10 02:17 PM Share Posted 17/09/10 02:17 PM love that the HO may come back, but who cares about the power figures ( maybe I do,300kw back in 1972)? Its what they do down the quarter and round the track. Bullstit stops when the flag drops.Soft rear supension As opposed to fat rears gives better traction (to a degree) but then affects cornering. So I guess we have to get a good all round car. Or Ford release a 600kw s/c GT HO limited number (*cough Expensive Daewoo 427*) and say look what we can do.

IBOO57 Member 538 Member For: 15y 4m 30d Posted 18/09/10 12:11 AM Share Posted 18/09/10 12:11 AM Like it was stated above this is an XR6T site so that dosent mean you have to automatically love everything that Ford or FPV do does it?If it wasnt for the XR6T I wouldnt have a Ford in the driveway and always have bought the carthat best suits me at the time not just because its a certain brand.I Hope that it is an awesome package and blows everyone away.....Just stating from my point of view that after all the waiting the on paper specs are a bitof an anticlimax.The Coyote has been released in the states with the option of a 328 KW version of the motor naturally aspirated.adding a blower and gaining 7 KW dosent really blow my mind.
