Wasn't really any difference, i found the 225 easier to tune with idle and the mixture. I will be putting on a 425 in the coming months....somehow Back to top RAM Fordmods Stock as a Rock Age:24 Posts: 192 Joined: 21 Feb 2007 Location: St Clair NSW, Australia View User Gallery (0) Posted: Wed Jun 11, 2008 8:56 pm    Post subject: ok cool,nah what i meant is what other mods are planned ? when are u going to dyno? thought about forced induction? cheers...

I wonder what the power difference would be between the gas and petrol... DO IT BARNSY!!! (If you already have...I retract this comment ) phong =P~ EDIT: Timmeh...I think you are correct...modded box cars can look noice.

Vito. Future mods will be 3.7 diff (long way off), full respray, humming and haring whether to do BBM conversion, convert to straight gas and remove all the emission gear. I will dyno the car when I start my new job in the city and have weekends off. Quote: I wonder what the power difference would be between the gas and petrol... with my old engine there was 10rwkw difference from petrol and lpg 114 (petty) and 104 (BBQ), but the gas hadn't been tuned properly. Strangely enough my car runs better on lpg than petrol! Quote: Does the 3.27s work well with the 5 speed? The 3.27 LSD works well with the T5, I believe it will hold the car back down the 1/4, but atm I am happy with it. Down the track will grab a 3.7 out of a skyline and throw it in.

So here are some recent pics with stock bonnet and boot, until I get the spoiler painted I will leave it off.
