You've come to a good place with many wise headsYou'll probably need to tell us a little more about the car and what you hope to achieve, current work, etc etcfyi, the barra motor and the barra turbo's aren't really the same engine. There are a lot of small differences that differentiate them. Also, the Ford EEC ecu's are a very well featured ecu. the xcal tuners make good use of the stock functionality, not many people replace them. If it were me, again not knowing you or the car, I would mod the front of the stock airbox, put some 1000'cc injectors in (the proper flow matched ones) and give it a very quick run on a dyno. Maybe if you were keen throw a set of cams at it Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90526-recommendations-on-improving-engine-performance/#findComment-1544773 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fill it with 98 fuel and put a k&n air filter that's all you need.
