Details of my ride:

Model: BA XR6T
Colour: Silhouette
Bodykit: Factory XR6
Engine Type: I6T
Engine Mods: King Springs
Power: 250rwkw, 550nm
0-400: 13.3 @???, first time out
Exhaust: Factory with Centre Muffler Removed
Gearbox: Factory 4sp with line pressure increased + transmission oil cooler
Brakes: Slotted all round with bendix ultimates
Suspension: Factory
Wheels/Tyres: Factory 17"
Interior: Factory Charcoal leather

I'm in the middle of removing an old APS Unichip + tune and replacing it with a HPTuners edit along with the following goodies:

- Process West stage 3 Intercooler + Indcution kit
- 60lb Siemens Injectors
- 3.5" XForce with 3.5'' Cat + 4'' Dump
- Actuator
- In-tank Fuel Pump

At some point I'll need some decent rubber to get this power down. Expecting to have all this ready to go for the WSID private day on the 23rd August.

I'll keep this thread posted with dyno results (for what their worth) and results of the private day.

My previous PB 1/4 mile ET was 13.3 with APS Unichip + Tune. I'm hoping to shave 1 second off this time. Some have suggested even more...??

Good stuff GT, can't wait to see how it all pans out.

Are you getting any rubber for the drag day?

Thanks Shane. Likewise, looking forward to seeing your results... 10s seems within your reach with a bit of luck.

Ran up 230rwkw at Russos with the old setup. It should be interesting to see what Chris can dial up in the next couple of days.

Good stuff mate!
Obviously you're getting valve springs replaced? or it already has them?

Consider upgrading the conrods too.. they will definitely bend with the power you're aiming at :)

Valve springs have already been done, they were rubbery even at low range power upgrades. We'll assess the rest once we see where the car's at after a tune. The 4sp is also an area I'll be closely keeping an eye on.

Today, after a bit of initiative from 35R, Russos pulled a rabbit out of a hat by getting the car ready with the latest tune and running up 330rwkw. More details to follow.

Now all set for WSID tomorrow though the existing street tyres will struggle.

Those street tyres won't struggle mate they'll dead set give up :)

If that's the only thing that gives up then I'll consider myself lucky :eyes:

330rwkw

Jesus H. Christ.

Awesome result and great work Russo, branching into the Fords.

Good luck getting it out of the hole Tank.

(not sure how long the auto will like 330+ thousand lightbulbs smashing through it)
