Herrods are pretty safe, but a little pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold air induction & BMC filter, Underdrive pulleys, Herrod throttle body Helix plate, twin 2.5 Mandrel bent hotdogs to replace your centre muffler should get you another 35 - 40 kW, then you can go a set of pacemaker or DePhillipo extractors later, regardless of that I would wait until you've 4 - 5000klm before you start, as you'll notice ther car will get quicker with a few thousand ks on it as the motor frees up.

In a word the Blue Beastie is now PERFECT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a pretty good feeling. Heap of mates watching. They all payedhomage to the awsome power of the BOSS260. Got to ask though....Does anyone else get sick of ppl driving really slow in front of youcause they think your a cop car? It seems to happen a lot.

AND you're bragging about beating a Turbo on a Turbo site? I'll say one thing, you're either very ballsie, or very stupid ... Either way, I think you're going to get on ok. ... they must be giving these damned SpewPrints away cheap ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The XR6T is a great symbol of what anAUSSIE MUSCLE car can do even if its potential has not been fully realised. Any Ford that can do a Expensive Daewoo is a good car in my books.In saying that I still think the best way is in a V8. To hell with the greenys,To hell with the economists, give me a gas guzzlin, low mileage to the litre,big noisy V8.Bye the wayWHATS WRONG WITH BLUEPRINT!!!!!!!!!

I know that even the standard porky GT is on the edge against a stage one, a worked GT only just over a stage 2, a worked GT no chance over a stage 3. But at least we don't shut down at 230kph, and the GT does handle better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
