I had one. Ba xr8 mk2 and I loves it didn't handle very well like the 6t but u cant beat the noise. Holdens have a tinny sound. Not much down low but cams , exhaust and tune they go pretty bloody good for as u call it a (boat anchor).

How much did your 11.7 cost you mate? There is no drag strip in 650kms from where I live and its my wifes daily driver so not much chance to quarter mile it yet but soon and im pretty sure it will beat a boss is that unopened with cams? pretty sure that's opening the rocker covers mate you are flogging a dead horse should have just supercharged it and saved your self heaps and had a faster car na is ghey

N mate im just saying they aren't that good an engine and were compromised heavily from a design point of view due to the stroke being too long to take advantage of the dohc heads and rev hard ford aus are at fault and good luck to any one prepared to spend good money making these go fast ratter how much have you spent to make 300rwks?dollar for dollar they are never gonna win mate xr6t Miami 5lt or gen 3 etc will always make more power for the outlay you can make any engine go hard if you throw enough money at it. How much did11.7 cost?

ps what kind of torque and low end rpm is it making?

the cams are put in at the factory, that's what happens with factory engines,

The 11.7 was with just bolt ons and set up to suit, probably cheaper than what most spend on their 6's, it was also my dailey driver and drove very well

you have a car that may run a high to low 12 if you know how to drive, you have a mouth that is bigger than your dyno sheet curve and your experience is smaller than..............

your answers prove your knowledge, the op should thank you for trying to contribute, but your one eye uninformed opinion is what leads many people astray
