hi hobbsy i put a wade 1004 in my xr6 just before christmas and am totally happy with it. it pulls a lot harder all the way to the redline, just got some idle issues though. a possible vacume leak might have something to do with it.

dont get a 1521a if you have an auto.

For auto a 1604 or a 1004@114 will do.
