I dont drive it that hard as im an old fart lolah dont tell me this!so stock engine, just valve springs im assuming? I have 1000cc squirters, big in tank pump and full intake also. Looks like im gunna have to get plugs, cat and trans cooler and start pushing some fun power. I really dont think these BA's are as bad as people make them out to be, its how you treat them. Of course things are going to brake if you load up a gearbox with low revs in a 2 tonne car with 550+nm of torque or kickdown hard!how does she feel at 380 compared to say the 10psi tune? I rekon that's what mine is at @ the moment, im yet to put my boost/AFR in yet.

I'm actually scared to see what my boost and AFR is gunna read haha.I'm keen on E85 also, but not so available down in the gong yet so probably a nice 12-15psi 98 tune and then a better E85 tune when I'm close to a servo Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86208-the-life-of-my-ba-xr6t/page/3/#findComment-1464684 Share on other sites More sharing options...
