Thanks for the inputs guys, even the Vic's have popped in to give some Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77157-sa-members/page/647/#findComment-1207149 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only guesses otherwise.If you gunna go the Spool way, get better pistons as well. Do it once properly.ask bruce what he thinks of the so called better pistons Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77157-sa-members/page/647/#findComment-1207150 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the rods are the weak link in the XRT engine, but why not go the best while you have it down?I hope it turns out something simple Foon. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77157-sa-members/page/647/#findComment-1207153 Share on other sites More sharing options...

(still running VCM tune, will go back to SCT) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77157-sa-members/page/647/#findComment-1207167 Share on other sites More sharing options...
