I also assume you are testing at a private venue Edited 22/01/04 04:59 AM by CnC Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/8664-xr6t300kph/#findComment-85055 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASHEN Member 868 Member For: 21y 5m 6d Location: Need one.. Posted 22/01/04 05:07 AM Share Posted 22/01/04 05:07 AM Hi Peter,300 kph would put a smile on my dial - wouldn't you expect this from 385kw + ?By the way, knowing you, APS wouldn't make any gearing mods unless they make the car go quicker. So, can you make these changes to my gearing when I fit the Phase III? Huh? Please?? :D Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/8664-xr6t300kph/#findComment-85063 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard the limiter comes in at 230 but unless my speedo is out mine went to 240 no problem at all, so id say it should make 280 no prob.

I think the 6 speed box with the good ratios would be the way to go to hit the 300KPH given theres enough power to push the gearing. peter APS Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/8664-xr6t300kph/#findComment-85076 Share on other sites More sharing options...
