    E85 is good stuff, it's just a PITA for us WA guys atm. I anticipate it will become very popular soon. I've been using blends in my bunky BA turbo and it will be depressing if I have to go back to straight 98!

    Dale seeing as we cant tune the 6spd auto's in these how good are they? im looking at getting an fg xr6t ute and only doing basics like exh and tune and such as i dont want to bother with clutch's or built box's, will they handle a low to mid 300rwkw easily and safley or am i better off with a manual.
    Give it a go yourself first, if it doesnt work out then pay someone.

    Tuning a Ba 3 valve with T trim with S trim and 7 psi we got 300rwkw, A meth kit is now installed along with the T trim and 13 psi we are hoping for a decent gain.

    Can be a number of things kon. I've got a heap of data logs on fuel decel and injector scaling plays a fair part. Example, with 'generic' style injector scaling the Nizpro's 72lb go lean on decel and deka 60's go fat on decel.

    I'm in Sydney.
    Had no problem with GM cars and I work with Halteck and MoTec on a regulsr basis.

    I gather that Fords can be..... Thinking SCT might be a better choice?

    did you actually type the vin number in?

    i brought SCT a few months back and my work load with fords has pretty much doubled.. i still use HPT on BA's and BF's but FG's only get SCT now

    Yes entered vin, no effect,

    Whats the best place to purchase SCT (AdvantageIII ?) what should I expect to pay
    I find the sites I've looked at a bit confusing.

    i dont know why but i copied the fuel and spark numbers from our own FG XR6T from HPT to SCT and the car made another 50rwkw at 6000rpm.. only a few KW at peak power tho,

    i cant for the life of me work out what was different so i started from the stock file and went again and no matter what i did i couldnt get the power up there..

    then again i have a BA here that i tuned in 09 making 270rwkw back then, he went off to another self proclaimed ford expert got sold a xcal 3 and 3 custom tunes this and that,
    i ran it up this morning with the mad custom tune and it made 248rwkw and really drives like shit...

    My guess is he's talking about boost, as it's a very interesting question!

    It's a lot easier to tune boost to open loop but feels more responsive in closed loop boost control!

    On another note were you logging spark & the like with the 60rwKW difference in the sct to hpt as it seems very weird & interesting!
