Will post once I raced again on the 20th. Dyno numbers mean little to me much more interested in what the mods will mean on the drag strip. Will post up dyno numbers and what it runs on the quarter mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X-xyk Member 37 Member For: 4y 7m 8d Posted 15/04/21 01:07 AM Share Posted 15/04/21 01:07 AM I could have worded it better, I'm looking for a shop that has tuned falcons before, and are familiar with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X-xyk Member 37 Member For: 4y 7m 8d Posted 15/04/21 01:13 AM Share Posted 15/04/21 01:13 AM Yeah that's the aim, I've done everything myself just looking for tuner now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
