Can't wait to see the full episode on TV. But really I think you got the wrong car. A turbo 6 like the XR6T or even the F6 would blow rings around the V8. You might have a little bit of turbo lag off the line but once that turbo kicks in the BARRA will just pull away down the straight leaving everything else in the dust.

[@andyturbo]

@@MitchZero9 Each to their own mate, I respect your opinion. It's certainly not the view I hold (and many others I know, again thats not to say theres not others that agree with you) and my first XR6T was one of the first ever made (BA Xr6T Nov 02' 2002) Before and after that one I have had 8's (VT SS and now a VE SS) My biggest regret was selling the XR6T which I had to at the time due to losing my job and still renting at the time. Unfortunately, I wasn't patient when I was finically back on my feet and in the market for a low km black or blue XR6T or/or Typhoon so after only 1 month of looking a saw a low km VE SS in black and went with that. It's a great car, really is. However, I regret not waiting (this was about 4 years ago.. so around 2020) Now I am waiting until (hopefully) a low km XR6T (Not fussed on model either an FG or BA S2 -not likely to have low km's) comes around and I will jump on it while there's still time.

[@andyturbo]

@RRRZZZSS5000 Indeed it was! (I'm not sure if you were just adding some extra context or indicating that what I said wasn't correct. If the latter, then considering the lifespan of the XR6T I don't see anything wrong with saying a NOV 02 made one was one of the first. Thats up for one's own interpretation I guess) The BA was such a breath of fresh air after the AU. I personally hated the AU. Looked terrible compared to the Holden VT/VX. With the exception of the TE50/TS50. I really liked those!

The 5.4's aren't exactly easy to squeeze power out of. IMO i'd have gone for an XR6 Turbo, or a VE/VF SS, but it is nice to see an Australian car on the show.

[@adamrandell7946]

I know a guy with a 5.4 putting out a healthy 640hp on a blower, do agree that they can be a right pain to tune and the only thing you can really do without changing compression is lower boost applications.

[@PeteV.53]

So good to see these two in Australia and giving Aussie cars some love!

[@AussieClipper]

Biggest problem with the 32-valve 5.4 is that they don't produce enough low-end torque; similar to the old 4V Clevos. (The 3-valve 5.4s are actually better in this regard) Don't chase kW; chase Nm. These things can be monsters with a properly set up Eaton-style twin screw S/C - think 2005/06 Ford GT or early 2000's F-150 Lightning. Seen a lot of these fitted with a Paxton, or similar, centrifugal blower - these may give you a nice top-end boost (kW), but you already have that, plus, where can you use it....? That style of blower works better on Windsors that need the lungs at high RPM. Torque wins at the lights - HP wins down Conrod Straight....simple.

[@leaithhoughton1862]

I have got around this my 03 GTP, making 520nm from 2200rpm. 392rwhp at 5200rpm. This is still needing a tune as well, it will be good to have a 400+rwhp 03 GTP 290 Should surprise a few people

[@overlord5066]

I'd love a top mount blower, no doubt it'd make a completely different beast but the sidemounts aren't all that bad, bang for buck. The Vortech on my 260 was pushing out a bit under ~500nm at 2500rpm (making 710nm at 5000nm) with only 315rwkw total (or 422hp) at 8psi. That was with no extractors (just cat back), injectors/pump and a hot intake (no charge cooler). Its booked to head back to the dyno soon (with W2A intercooler, adjustable fuel, few other bolt on tid bits that should help), shooting for somewhere up near 380rwkw, no idea where the torque will land though. Definitely still added heaps down load even if its not snapping to full boost off the line Plus i snagged the kit near new second hand (eff all km's on the headunit), did all the work my self aside from tuning. Only in the hole for about $4k total so far lol

BF Falcon XR8 with camshaft upgrade kit and exhaust upgrade with upgraded engine management calibration would probably be enough to make it better than stock. Bugger the supercharging thing, i find that a little overrated. Cold air intake is never a bad idea.

This is really cool. It's a damn shame that both GMH and Ford decided to shut up shop in Australia. Largely due to a change in govt policy and the fact that sales were declining for these big Aussie cars. In my opinion theses cars (both Holden and Ford) were very competent offerings and I think compared well to most other cars in any other country you could think of. Leaving a particularly sour taste was Holden shutting down local manufacture, substituting the locally made Commodore for an Opel built in France and trying to continue like it was business as usual. People didn't buy it and the Holden brand was eventually closed down.
