Yeah it would have been close, it will be interesting to see how much timing is in at 15psi.

Going off the old tune it would be less than what I was running before. More power left if Im game. :lol:

I havent put the water injection on yet so ill do that and when I can be bothered pulling the engine out Ill wind it up a bit more.

Was just down there at Wolf for some business and saw your ute in the driveway. Robbie told me what you got, said you were pretty pleased. Certainly Robbie was pretty pleased - getting that on a stock motor. Very nice Dan.

He keeps saying it has a freak motor. I need to ask him what other AU's do because it doesnt seem that impressive to me.

I'm just glad to be making more than a stock typhoon now. 240 was weaksauce.

Now i need rods.

Not gonna lie but your ute is pathetically, PATHETICALLY GOOD. Finally got something to shut all the jap import lovers up with. Fords ftw. Well done on it ae can't believe how quick you do things on it, and that your fabricating so much yourself. Well done, top notch ae.

Any well sorted import would beat the ute on the street.

Unless it was a delica or something.

Here's my dyno sheet. I need to lower the compression before we lean on it anymore but Ill probably do rods first.

yer I would say it would be hard to beat a NA xr6 with the amount of tractions difficulties you must have... lol thats what would make it so good as a daily.
If I wanted a super fast racing pedigree car I wouldn't of bought a falcon to begin with.

It smashes NA falcons. Usually by wheel spinning past from behind once I'm in 2nd gear. :)

It provides for many lols. Your usual import is much faster than an NA falcon.

Ill look into better tyre choices when Im due for new ones.

Nice Dan :)

You've invested so many goodies into this - build bottom end for ~7.7:1 and see 400 already!

Would be good for a giggle if the tray was filled up with stuff and then you got challenged to a race and won.
