knoles Donating Members 390 Member For: 13y 9m 2d Gender: Male Location: Port Hedland Posted 18/04/12 01:55 PM Share Posted 18/04/12 01:55 PM (edited) I've read somewhere that the FG F6 has forged pistons because the piston manufacturer recommends this at being over a certain HP per cylinder (IE: 70 HP per cylinder which equals about the FG F6 output). From what I've researched this is the only diff ini rods & pistons between FG F6 - FGXR6T - BF FPV & late model XR6TEDIT: I think the extra power output in the FG's comes from the more efficient head, cams and manifolds Edited 18/04/12 02:08 PM by knoles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
