Lennox Member 2,586 Member For: 11y 9m 3d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 30/07/14 08:48 AM Share Posted 30/07/14 08:48 AM I think a 20 or 30kw increase in power is definitely noticeable from my experience in other cars. Admittedly I haven't tuned my xr6 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MA91CK billet turbos and weathered engines dont mix Donating Members 1,346 Member For: 12y 6m 7d Gender: Male Location: Wollongong Posted 30/07/14 09:38 PM Share Posted 30/07/14 09:38 PM Plus, have you noticed when you do a heap of small mods individually, you think 'aw yeh theres a bit of difference' and it never seems to blow you away. doing increments of 20rwkw ata time is boring. Go from 220rwkw to 320rwkw+ and itll satisfy you so much more. I went from 230 odd to 290 and yeh there was a difference but I wish I waited and did everything in one hit. Drove a 400rwkw ute a week later and nearly wet myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drove a 400rwkw ute a week later and nearly wet myselfYeah that's why I've waited, so that I can do it all at once. Hoping to make 360-380 with the first round of mods.Its hard to gauge though, different cars need different power levels to feel fast. I have a feeling that over 400 in an FG is when it starts to "feel" quick. I remember a mates vl that had 340rwkw and it was mental back in the day. 340 in these I've heard doesn't feel that fast at all. I realise its mostly the weight that makes the diff. Obviously the power curve and boost ramp makes some difference also. What does everyone reckon is a genuinely fast feeling number in an FG?To the OP, save some more coin and get a tune, injectors and cat like the guys mentioned. Should go highish 200's with that.

For a standard street carI guess it's what your used to though. In my opinion my F6 doesn't feel fast at all but people get in it now and think it rockets. To me you don't have power unless you can roll on and chalk lines down the freeway I just hope that very high 300's will get me close.
