I'm not looking for 350rwkw or anything I'm thinking go 300 for now see how it drives and 6 months down the track I don't have to spend sh*t loads more money to make it faster just a new tune. I have never been in a car with any real serious grunt - drove a GT a while ago with 320 flkw but it was auto didn't see that uncontrollable lol but 300rw in a manual will be different...I think in the not so far future I will go to the strip for abit of fun - anyone got tips on getting the thing moving?? TC or off??Chur Ben Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/65422-whats-300rwkw-like-to-drive/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its tuned well it should have arseloads more power everywhere. Be carefull. Most folk turn the T/C off as it can cause mechanical issues.Just feel your way at first. Even after you`re fully used to having more power, it still needs to be respected. These cars wiegh 2 ton and if it really gets out of shape generally you won`t get it back until you strike something solid.Having said that, you`ll love it. Enjoy.

I kinda have it in my mind that it will be kinda like driving it stock in the wet but in the dry all the time (if that makes sense - does in my head) but sh*tloads faster lol Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/65422-whats-300rwkw-like-to-drive/#findComment-974128 Share on other sites More sharing options...

What have you done in regards to a clutch upgrade? Cant see any mention of it in your sig.

Clutch is stock at the moment - I think I'll run it see if it holds for abit if it doesn't I'll go straight to a exedy heavy duty cushion button I think.

I gaurantee that 300 wont be enough for too long...330ish is the most youll safely get with the ba bottom end though....
