injectors will be needed for 350

valve springs will prol need to be upgraded. I have f6 springs for my power, but dont redline often (dont need to)

His has f6 valve springs standard

Getting the power is one thing, making it reliably everyday is another...

Things you'd want to consider are:

- Valve springs (read one member recently who's low k 07 BF wouldn't make over 270-280ish, the more power you make the quicker they'll wear)

- Oil pump gears and ported housing

- Rebuilt auto (or at least a strengthened flex plate)

- Surge tank

- New diff bushes

- Upgraded brakes

Probably a bunch of other things too, best bet is to speak to a tuner that has alot of experience, as they're the ones that have seen first hand what the weak points are and will know how to fix em!

hey dave is there any tuners in shep that u know that u would recommend as not many options on the border hence looking at using vcm and shep is easier to organise then melb or canberra

[1600dave]

Nah mate none that I know of.

There are tuners with dyno's, not sure if any are familiar with the SCT gear though, or modding XR6T's, haven't seen many around.

I asked my mechanic I use here (I've only been here a year) and he told me to take it to somewhere in Melbourne that's familiar with the car.

I'll be taking mine to Pitlane, might be a bit of a hike, but worth it based on the rep they have.

They're very familiar with the car lol

From memory, the ZF is rated for 650 Nm. Pity Ford didn't want to spend the money and put the better version in which is rated for 1000 Nm

Yeah that's the thing power might be ok but it's the torque these things make that does it.
