But as you said tell the truth always works the best well save any arguments later.

I must be doing something wrong eh Wade, my missus has driven the ute twice this week. Maybe it hasn't got enough grunt!!!! Help ...Chris....

I suppose i could have written that better, there is one rule in our house and that is no one is the boss, that way no one wears the pants

but i just don't see the need to mix the truth about anything on both sides of the fence.

Low range power is extremely impressive, I have usable power/torque from 1000rpm.. The difference between Chris's tune and the factory tune is unbelievable. every now and then I stick the factory tune back in to remind me what it was like (utter crap), I would almost say, undrivable.. absolutely no bottom power to take of with at the lights, I actually have to use more throttle to get my ute moving from a standing start......

In short I could not live with my ute with the standard tune, I would of set fire set fire to it by now with out the flash tune................ But when I called Chris and told him I want his tune, he was more then happy to help. the best thing about Chris's tune is,,,, It caused me to fall in love with my ute all over again, There was a point where I was going to get rid of it. But not any more........

GTFPV.... My advice to you is,,,, Grow some balls, stop hesitating, and just go ahead and bloody do it... and stop being so pedantic about you GT. Just mod it will you,,, I know you want to, but it seems that you continue to scare your self about the what if's..........

JUST DO IT

3 WORDS ( YOU'RE RIGHT JABBA) I 100% AGREE. HOPE THE BALLS GROW SOON.

Back on topic Gtfpv, be good to see some mods if thats what you choose to do, and are you still planning to give the GT a run down the Qtr one day ?

gtfpv · 06-02-2006, 01:20 AM

Sorry Wade i know the heading is "effects on the 260" but seeing that i have a 220 i thought it might still be interesting.

My BA XT V8 220KW went from 167 RWKW standard to currently 234.00 RWKW. First time out down the 1/4 mile was about 15.6 now with the following mods it has run 13.40 @ 104.07.

Full Di Filippo Exhaust
Bluepower Cold Air Box
ACE Induction Pipe
Custom Flash Tune
LSD diff 3.46

Future possibly 4.11 rear, Textralia clutch, new tyres & touch up in the tune.

Then hooked up with Chris from Blue Power same time last year and we got the car down the quarter with a 13.1 with street tyres//mods difillipo exractors and cats/custom zorst/helix/under drives/improved ss induction/edit with a power output of 240 rwkw......

Now l have more power and a whole lot better cold air setup so we will see what this year has to offer and mind you all these runs have been around 25-30 degree days so we will see what the cold air delivers....

Cheers Chris

Sorry must add this the downside to having this much power in a sedan is that l have to invest in UNIDRIVE or ask them to sponser the car as l am breaking the damn things all the time....
