i came accross a Bf Xr6 turbo the other day and raced the owner, now i was left for dead in my xr8. i stopped to chat with him and he said it was stroked bored out to a 4.2... i was very sceptical of this... has anyone heard of this happening??

Yeah I have heard that CMS are/where doing it, but it's expensive and didn't give all that much gain for the $$. But yeah it's defiantly possible.

Hmm... Would have had to have done a lot more then just make it a 4.2 to beat an xr8 wouldn't he?

well the xr8 is putting 260ish at the wheels atm, and it left me looking like a 0.8L ha, he said it was running 18psi on that tune... hmm im still sceptical about it though... but it was retardedly fast

Of course you were going to be beaten.

bf and fg turbo's dont need to be stroked to make that power, decent cooler, injectors, valve springs, a decent flash tune and smash the boost can give those kind of results..

I think a 460rwkw would destroy anything on the road including Lambos, Ferrari's and Porsche's. Iv never seen a stroked 4.2 Barra engine though. I know some guy was actually making the capacity smaller to make it rev more (8000-9000)

i didnt go into too much detail but yeah he took off really slow i had a good 30m to 40m on him before he put his foot down... he had 295 on the rear too. even they would be toast if he planted it. he said he hit 497rwkws on 28psi... but again still sceptical. he had 3.9something diff ratio too...

If he was correct with those dyno figures the torque on that thing would be huge!

Alot of people are using e85 which are making boosted car make huge numbers.
