Could once again easily be fixed by buying a GT pulley & custom tune. Man they are going to struggle to clear old stock and used prices of the 5.4L is going to plummet haha.

XtRmn8 570Nm @1800rpm Donating Members 2,441 Member For: 21y 2m 8d Gender: Male Location: Perth, WA Posted 08/10/10 06:00 AM Share Posted 08/10/10 06:00 AM Is it true the GS will be 315kw's?The drive train and engine on the GS is identical to the GT. The only difference between the two is in the tune. GS is 315kw/545Nm and GT is 335kw/570Nm. So potentially the GS should see bigger gains with a tune only.Both engines are limited to 6000rpm, while the NA 5.0 makes peak power around 7000rpm. Will be interesting to see what tune only gains area achieved.Also the GS only gets XR6T spec brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest EGOXRT Guests Posted 08/10/10 06:03 AM Share Posted 08/10/10 06:03 AM (edited) GS is 315kw and according to my Ford buddy, you can hardly tell the difference between the two.Ratter is correct, the 20kw difference is in the Calibration alone, apparently there is quite a bit of headroom..Oh, that particular car, with the leather, blah, blah, is a touch under 80k.The GS will be a good base for the modders..

Turbo6FG Silver Donating Members 497 Member For: 14y 8m 28d Gender: Male Posted 08/10/10 08:32 AM Share Posted 08/10/10 08:32 AM Buy the NA & do your own supercharger kit. Then new 5.0 motor is a good starting point, apparently can rev a lot higher than the 5.4 used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
