Adam Here since the start... Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 21y 11m 28d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 19/12/10 11:02 AM Share Posted 19/12/10 11:02 AM The BA has an oxygen sensor in the exhaust. The BF has 2.Sensors won't make any difference to performance.One thing that will make a bit of a difference is the cam timing.Both the BA and BF have variable cam timing, but the BA's cams are varied together. The BF can vary each cam independently.BF's have the stronger conrods from the F6.I can't remember if that applies to all BF's or if it was a mid model change.One of the other guys will know.

Mal__01 New Member 3 Member For: 14y 5m 22d Posted 21/12/10 03:42 PM Share Posted 21/12/10 03:42 PM (edited) Prob a silly question that has been answered many times...But what is actually better in the F6/BF in the bottom end?I know the valve springs are no good in the BA's but just interested.Also if the bottom end is limiting in the BA's, how far can I push them. I know the trans is limiting ( have a built 4sp)Mal Edited 22/12/10 06:22 AM by RHR No need to quote above post.

Benji_vs Donating Members 403 Member For: 16y 11m 16d Gender: Male Location: East Suburbs Melbourne Posted 21/12/10 09:02 PM Share Posted 21/12/10 09:02 PM The F6 has stronger rods and the BF has the better valve springs. Better for chasing big power, but honestly there is never 100% insurance when chasing big power. These engines will happily make 300rwkw (BA and BF) and for me that's plenty. Any more and you better have an awesome tune + all other bits and cash for engine work if it goes bang. Alot wont but some do, regardless if its an F6 motor or not.
