Default BA I6 upgrades under development
Would like to tell ya'll that we have just nutted onto something the BA market is going to fall head over heels for. Also happens to resolve a lot of cluey problems that no one else seems to have considered.

Keep an eye out for the JMM white 5 speed BA at this weekends all ford nationals at HEATHCOTE 19/20 of november. keep in mind the old girl has a best of 14.2 up its sleeve to try and beat.

Will also be watching the economy issue when travelling back and forth from the meet....best average so far on economy has been 10.1 per 100 kms.

This is a power product testing release. YES More power for you BA's.

Keep an eye HERE :evilsasmo

Product proved itself on the dyno with appox about another 5 to 10 rwkw, but fine tuning for the road is the next step.

Fuel economy is now 10 to 10.1 litres per KM

Maybe another version of cold air intake.. Something i should do. My economy is horrible at the moment anyway, especially with my bogus PCM and software.. Moderate driving around suburbs only, mostly afternoon/evening traffic is returning 13.3L/100km

Fantz, get yourself a typhoon intake. Works a treat, more power and better economy. Was getting 14.4L before and then it dropped to 13.9.

It could be underdrives Parawolf, as thats the power you usually gain from them.

Maybe a VCT conroller???? :sm_headba

As development takes time you must remember that patience is a virtue.

Remember that this is the first time we have informed anyone that NEW products are being worked on. Successful development is not a task to be rushed.

I'm figuring that it is going to be a competitor to a VTEC badge to gain 8rwkw.
