Fpv Fg Super Pursuit Do's & Don'ts

[Loewe]

Hi Everyone,

I've just become the proud owner of a nitro blue auto super pursuit ute with the 315kw Boss 5.4L

I just wanted to see what advice you all have in regards to the do's & don'ts when it comes to modding.

I'm looking at doing the basic mods over the coming months, starting with the sct tune and some sort of cai like a growler and then move into the exhaust department and finally a set of herrod motorsport 315 cams.

is there anything I should watchout for when proceeding with these mods, I've heard and read on these forums about the brake shudder issue with the 6/4 brembos which thankgod this doesnt have, I've seen people talk about issues with the check engine light coming up and general issues when changing headers or playing around with the exhausts, so in this regard with exhaust systems is it better to leave the front section alone and just install a cat back system or are those things tuning related and I should combine a flash tune when I get the exhaust done??

What sort of CAI's are people using, just a drop -in k&n panel filter with the standard airbox or a full replacement type like the ss inductions growler or something.

Lastly I'll be installing some herrod motorsport cams, I heard them on a youtube video and it just makes the car sound perfect. Are these a good street cam to install. I do a fair bit of stop start driving while commuting to work mon-fri. It's really only the weekends where it'll be more natural driving.

Intune motorsport are the most likely workshop I'll be approaching to get this stuff installed as they are the closest to me, I havent seen anyone write a bad word about them, who should I be speaking to when I contact them.

Cheers and thanks for the great website, it really is an invaluable source of for info and help

Ring Bluepower in Campbellfield. They will know everything that needs to be known about the 5.4 and what will work best for power.

There are better tuners than the one your looking at, just ask around here why.

dont just go to intune because they are close.

shop around and speak to as many places as you can.

id also be going to blue power.

start with an intake, full exhaust and tune and see how you go first.

Thanks for the quick info guys. I'm actually located up in sydney but I checked out the bluepower website and was quite impressed. I'll definately be ringing around before I enlist a place to begin the work.

I used to goto autotech for my rexy and even a 1.5hr drive to a tuner up the central coast because the job done was always professonial and they explained things in a language you understand and not all technical mumbo jumbo.

So intake ,exhaust & tune, that sounds like the 1st step to do then look at cams down the track. Is the billet oil pump a 100% must to install once you start to increase your power. I don't want an epic engine fail

Just so you know a lot of people travel to Bluepower. Even from Perth.

Not saying you need to but at least speak to them. I am pretty sure they have a workshop in Sydney too.

I agree totally, sometimes you've just got to travel to get what your after. They have a dealer, gen-tech in Canberra so I'll contact them and see what's the way to go over the coming months.
