it is a Fairmont Ghia so it is Auto

Has there been much progress with the edit on a 220kw 3V engine ?
CAPA's site has it listed as available, can't remeber the exact figures it ended up with though.

Mine is a 2004 BA XR8 manual ute with 6000k on the clock
248rwhp. dunno is that is good or not. the ute is stock as a rock.
Had another ute on the dyno just after mine. Exactly the same model and age and k,s and it put out 263rwhp.
I think maybe dyno operrator full of Sh*t.

that's rear wheel HP not KW?
with chasis type ( rear wheel dyno, a few things like tyre pressure can effect end results, also dyno opperator & the gear they run it in on dyno. but a good opperator would check all that.

thats some really nice power mate for a stocky.. shocking af graph though
yeah, i know, the a/f's up the shit.
that dyno run was on a 36 degree day in Brisbane running standard unleaded.

the engine isn't really stock. the day after i picked it up it had a problem so it went back to Ford for a couple of weeks. FPV rebuilt the engine with some tweaks according to the engine tech. but Ford say it was rebuilt to XR8 specs. who knows what it is. i do know it has heaps more power than any other standard XR8.

Jim, Paynters Repco Dyno at West Gosford did the tune, Nathan is a wix with these new boss motors (he looks after a number of them on the Central Coast & Newcastle areas now) & will be going with his laptop at the next private day, He will tweak the settings a little to suit conditions on the day & we'll see what we end up with. Other mods are 2 1/2 system with redback mufflers, Hurricane headers, H/M cold air & K & N filter. Hope to see ya there Jim, what are you bringing???????

Had unichip fitted, now at 240.6rwkw, looking for high 12s at next WSID track day
Jeez high 12's, you running the standard tyre's or running with slicks. Either way good luck.

There's a bloke running around with 26orwkw in a BA ute and his best is 13.2 with a 1.8 6oft.

That would be with a drag radial not factory fitted tyre big difference.My mates BA GT ran a 13.4 @110 on factory fitted tyres big difference.Just goes to show how tyres pay the biggest role in 1/4 mile times.

Had my Boss ute on the dyno the other day.
233rwkw's-6000km's
Full zorst, BPT underdrives,herrods helix, ss cai, Stealth edit(base tune, awaiting custom tune)

Is that the Boss 260 or 290?


I could be off track here, but I would have thought 290kw at the engine should show 220-230 at the rears, any one want to share there stock results
