i was running 185 65 14r @ 12psi but couldn't get a decent 60ft, to much wheel spin. but was using up all of 4th gear through the traps.
now i use 215 65 15's @ 20psi, have leave with big revs or it bogs down, no traction problems, as long as i do a big skid. and if anyone has watched me race i aim to please with the skids.
the rubber on both is just normal street tyre yokoharma's, 14 are old 504's? and 15 are the newer pattern a359's.
i have beaten a few turbo's, but they are always not tuned right of something not working......heaps of excuses
the stocko xr6t are a good race

Mate,
Before I did my XF TB mod I spoke to David Bell from Commsport Engineering (they fabricate those 59mm TB's). Anyway he told me the amount of gain you get depends on the condition and km's on your motor. He had 350,000km motors making not much power with the larger TB where as his mate's VL with just over 120,000km was pulling an extra 24rwhp (there is a dyno print-out on their website).
cheers,
joel.

24rwhp is a big gain for such a fairly cheap and simple mod
that is gain rite?...not total power??...haha
i was thinkin bout puttin 1 on mine with a toyota blower and seein how it runs
cheers
I think redvk was referring to the wording of his sentence

As in the car was pulling 24rwhp, not making a gain of 24rwhp
24rwhp.. i dont believe it until i see it.. you sure it wasnt turbo mate?
thatl be about right if it was a turbo motor.. but they use different concepts of making power.. it forces the air in.. where its basically usless on a NA motor..
