Final got my fg xr6t tuned with a few mods on the wknd. Im happy to have 300+ but was hoping to maybe run alittle more kw's but thought id have a fair bit more torque, as im at about 680nm rw running 18psi tapering off to 15psi. Just wondering is that very average or about right with my mods? Just though id be around 750+nm and a few more wk's?

Did a with runs down willowbank on sat & best was 12.50 @ 116mph. Running newish cheapish 245/40/18 with 40psi in them.

Mods are:

SS Growler cold intake

Intake muffler delete

PW stage2 intercooler

Harrods piping kit

100cel 3" cat with stand exhaust & dump

Xspurt 55lb injectors

12lb actuator

Standard valve springs (tuner didn't think there were any issues with lifting)

Standard zf tune

Rollers where a New Dyno Dynamics machine

Just wanted some other opinions & advice as im happy but just thought id run alittle more

I'll post dyno sheet as as I can.

Thanks Damo

MPH is good mate and having the turbo holding 15psi up top is a good sign she will make killer power on E85.

Thanks fellows, I just wanted to clear it up that Im very happy with the tune. It idles & drives as standand with just cruising around which I like. Clint at ProFile Autosports Ormiston did the tune & he really does know his stuff, and a top bloke too. So I should of been more clearer in my original question, is my car just one of those that doesnt run anything special with similar mods as others who are getting higher numbers? Is a 4" dump well worth it, as im really at my $$$ limit atm. Anyway im really happy with the tune & drivability as its my everydayer & fuel economy is the same as stock or even abit better.

Skids4kids, I havent really looked into running E85. Do you have to do a new tune for it or just fillup and go? Is there a massive increase in power running it & is there any side effects to engine if tuned right? If its the go I might fillup & get Clint to tune & store a E85 tune just for fun days?

Cheers Damo

Oh also I checked one of my slips from willowbank on wknd and its

60ft 2.112

1/4 12.51

Mph 114.89

so my 60ft is the one that's killing my time.

You'd probably be looking at upgrading the fuel pump or adding a surge tank and external pump next. Depending on the tuner but most won't want a 4" dump unless you port the rear housing and put a bigger flapper as you'll get boost spoke. In saying that a 3.5" dump can be added without these mods. Looking at more mid range with the dump. I have very similar mods but also have turbo side, 3.5" dump and surge and make 10rwkw less but turn first and a bit of 2nd with 265 tyres.

E85 is the go if you have it available. Can put more boost and timing using, thus more power. You will need a retune though, can't run it on your 98 tune. Side effects are positive on engine from what I understand it burns cooler so better for your engine.

Thanks Bellato, I had a chat to Clint & he said $300 fitted for a hi vol intank pump that suits both 98 & e85. Also said I'll need new valve springs at the same time to cope with increase boost etc. So going to save & do both at same time & hopefully get close to 340-350rwkw on e85 he said. He also said my stock turbo will be maxed at that. I'll be happy at that hp for a while id say.

Im running a 4inch dump with the standard cat back and my tuner has never mentioned having issues with boost control. Good combo with the standard turbo and the car is still quiet.
