Hi Simon,
What sort of gains would you expect to see out of the XR8(manual) with these mods(ball Park), inc Custom tune?
Thanks mate
Hey Mate,
Well usually you would have around the 200 to 210 rwkw's mark stock, with the following mods i would normaly see around a 30 to 40 rwkw mark in gains.

Hi Simon,

Thanks mate
I mate...I have a MkII XR8 with a 6 speed.
Mods include:
Exhaust - dual 3" DiFillipo inc headers and high flow cats
Underdrive Pullies and Mal Wood Clutch Stage 11
Custom Cold Air with K & N pod filter
Edit with Custom tune done by Xtreme/Bluepower
Stock mine was 198.5 rwkw but with those mods its about 240 - 250rwkw depending on the dyno.......these mods appear to have worked for me as my car feels quite quick
My advice (for what its worth) is don't get too concerned about the dyno figures.....just drive one with an xtreme tune and watch your tyres light up....dyno sheets are nice to put on your wall or in your signature but my "dyno" is my right foot.
Cheers
Brad

Yep, about the same figure as mine used to be when N/A. Herrod series 1 header/exhaust, SS CAI with BMC air filter, BPT U/Drives, Herrod Heliz and one of Simon's Xtreme tunes, 245-255rwkw depending on what dyno you believe. With practise and competition you too will be in the low 13's.

Cheers guys, Sounds like big improvements too me
I have just finished changing my rear muffler over today so the cats back I have done(minus y pipe, manta exhaust..almost too loaud ). I have the CAI and BMC ready to put in and once that is done I think the Xtreme tune is the next step. I am still wrapt with the grunt of these things, but after a couple of years of driving it its time for a boost.
Brad, did/do you have any troubles with the U/drives and your clutch... I have heard mixed messages regarding troubles associated with the u/drives and the manuals? is it a matter of using different pully sizes for the manual?
Cheers again
Luke

Yes I had problems with the standard clutch after I fitted the underdrives. Under normal driving conditions it was OK but under "spirited" driving it would seize up. Not saying it was the Underdives that caused it, but it started to happen not long after I fitted them.
Also, Mal Wood advised me that if I had underdrives, then I could expect problems with the clutch. I was also told this by my local Ford dealer.
Mind you I'm no expert, I just drive the thing, as you are in Perth suggest you talk to Simon at Xtreme....he is familiar with the Mal Wood clutches.
Cheers
Brad
