Just make sure that you can do without the car for a period of time, if not id suggest a lower power. Not sure on the model you have but mine is 267rwkw an has not missed a beat, had it tuned for well over a year and was used daily (its now a weekend car).

Nice work mate.. especially the pic with it all loaded for a days work! OP, perhaps you have yet to go in a modded T, but these things even at high power as SMURF6 proves are very streetable. If yours is a BA, 330rwkw may by pushing the reliability of the engine and also trans if running stock auto or 5 speed manual. IMO 300rwkw as a guide is a safe limit if a BA, but no guarantees... we are pushing these cars harder than Ford intended.Oh and yes, mine is a daily...

It doesnt miss a beat. One thing I have noticed, I rarely open it up during the week as I just enjoy the drive and its no use racing from the lights against crap.

My commute used to be 60k's or so and about 2/3 was highway, then stop start during work on call outs to businesses. Fuel use about 12L/100 unless I really got up it heaps. Usually WOT a couple times a day or more.If you're doing stop start 500kms a week I feel sorry for you!Edit - replace your bushes with stronger ones though........
