Haha thanks camo, very clever campaign Not at this stage, I'm in control of the sales and support of the Ford side of things, working in conjunction with Vcm Performance here in Australia and nGauge developers in the states I've been working on quite a few cars as usual, but I have to keep them under wraps for abit longer, I can however share the results of my own car, Fir anyone that hasn't followed my experiences with my own car, I'm basically trying to get the absolute most of of a gtx3582, and faced a few issues along the way, such as head lifting and high ebp, so I have finally installed a 50mm external gate to the stock exhaust manifold and added a set of experimental cans made by myself and Brad at Atomic, I'm still retaining the vct and tuning with HP Tuners obviously.. the people that say tuning cams on a stock computer is hard, they aren't wrong haha, I have spent 20+ hours and finally gotten it to a stage where it cruises, idles and transitions throttle properly, boy it's different, it sounds and revs like a euro style motor, it has definitely lost torque down low and it's noticeable, it just means you have to pick gears more carefully, because it made an extra 60kw through the mid and peak power band, with power peaking at 6400rpm and still making 470kw at 7000rpm I competed in the Snowy Mountains 1000 last weekend, placing 19th out of 140 cars with a top speed of 274kmh also making it the fastest Barra of the day I'll head out to the drags in the next few weeks hopefully Ohh and check out these cool gauge holders I had made for the nGauge, obviously specifically for the falcons!! I'll have some videos up of the gauge in action over the next few days, but it's a great bit of kit! Www.nGaugeAU.com Facebook @nGaugeAU 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eff xr6t Member 569 Member For: 11y 4d Posted 07/12/16 05:40 AM Share Posted 07/12/16 05:40 AM Interesting that does come on very late there. The cams must be huge 230/240@50 or bigger? Haha. Is that also actually holding 30psi of boost with the 35r? That's right up there with such a small compressor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
