So After Much Research Over The Past Few Weeks, Heres My Planned Mods&

[trainwreck]

Bout a month or 2 ago I got my first xr6t, since then I've been trying to find ways to spice her up abit, Idealy would love to sit at around the 300kw mark so my boss can stop big noting his 300kw hsv

so heres the plan for the immediate future!

middle muffler remove

high flow cat

wheels?

f6 2nd air intake

tune

injectors

block off the stock bov

xr8 bonnet

gt style stripes

any suggestions/tips would be ace, im in the south east so im thinking either AVO or Pitlane to help me out, thoughts?

cheers!

Don't do the bonnet, wheels or stripes. Ok maybe wheels but certainly not the other 2! Also why would you want to block off the bov? The money you save on the bonnet and stripes will buy you a cooler and then bingo 300 rwkws! Re your boss a flash and and edit tune would probably account for him in the 1/4 mile stakes.

BA or F? Auto or manual?

You will need a fuel pump

You may need an actuator

Unless you just want 1 hero dyno run, you will need an intercooler to keep it consistant

Regapped or new spark plugs

It's a BA Auto, just don't want to go to overboard as im concerned about fuel usuage as its my work car and I'm constantly driving in and out of town!

You are going to need valve springs as well.

Fuel consumption will be no worse after tuned, infact many brag they get better economy, unless you drive around using your new found power.

what pitlane said.

And I advise DONT go to AVO. Ask me in PM if you want the issues I had if you havnt read up about it here.

Try Dyno-Mite in west footscray if you want your AUTO TO LAST!

You WILL need valve springs and an I/cooler kit for a safe 300rwkw...swap them for the bonnet and stripes.

You'll definitely need fuel pump and valve springs.

After I had my car tuned, my fuel economy for "off boost" driving increased over factory. I noticed around 1L/100km better city and 1.5L/100km highway better. But as Mick said, use your new found power and you can watch your fuel economy disappear like Hawthorn's form this year.
