I have the Ghia rims - which i prefer, espcially once the dust covers are removed!, but the finish on one of them is a bit crappy, so stockies for now.

Quick update:
The stall convertor (The first three shops are in Brisbane, JMM is in Melbourne) Prices quoted so far ASNU/Melva $1040 (3000rpm with lock up) TCS $ 990 (3000rpm with lock up) QCES $ 850 (2,800 or 3000rpm with lock up) JMM $ 770 (3,000rpm ) (not sure about lock up???) P.S: I dont know why the prices vary so much!  
ASNU and QCES have been emailed with car specs and after two weeks I've given up with them. Looks like monday I will be ringing TCS

Well looks like on Monday (14/07) I will be ordering the $850 stall of 3000rpm with lockup.
Also I will be going to Willowbank this Wednesday, to get a pre-stall quarter mile time. If anyone else is going to be there, let me know, as it will be my first time down the drags, tips welcome! See the Willowbank thread here: http://www.fordmods.com/forums/viewtopi ... 6&start=80

Update:
Since I'm going to Fraser Island next month, the stall has been put on hold. 
However I now get better (20.4ltr/100km LOL) since the 4.11s.
Before the 4.11s I was averaging about 21.6ltr/100km.

Your car sounds like it needs a tune bad cause your running such a big cam on stock ecu
my economy was 24L/100km, wouldnt idle when cold, blowing black s**t out the exhaust so a couple days ago i fitted a ChipTorque chip that was custom tuned with another cam i had..... and instantly fuel economy is 15L/100km, it holds idle when cold now and generally runs better. Next week i will be getting it tuned again with the current cam im running and im sure fuel economy and power will be better. |

Yea, I've mentioned that a piggyback tune is on the way, just have to decide on which one. Was thinking a Haltech...

did the speedo corrector make any difference to the shift points?
I would have thought it would hold gears for too long now....you installed the corrector between the VSS and the dash eh? or did u run vss direct to the ecu and correct the signal off this to the dash?

In ELs the VSS signal goes straight to the dash and the ECU gets the signal from there. EL Ghia/XR6 computers are smart to learn the new shift points and rev/speed limits (as above) WORKS PERFECTLY. However I didn't connect cruise control back up - woops!
