Re: AUII 220kW Tickord XR8 Engine Specs

I had a 200kw AUII and it was a much smoother engine than the 220. The 220 has a lumpy idle but loses it courseness as the revs increase. The 5.6 is much the same.

You can't make power without some duration and lift in a cam. I can live with it.

Whilst the 220 easily sees off a 200, the 5.6 absolutley creams a 220. It also uses a lot of 98 ron doing it.

Some 5.6's are smoother than others. Mine will happily pull from 30kph in 3rd gear, but mostly i'm back to second and into it!

As you say, the 5.6 is the weapon of choice on the street
