If you're comparing factory standard cars, then ofcourse the ford will be much quicker. That being said, i think you hit the nail on the head with your opening sentence.

i must have explained it wrong. how much work is it to transform a rb30 into somthing around the same as a fg xr6?

Pretty much a standard'ish Vlt setup with high flow, cooler, more boost and a tidy up tune?

If you're looking at converting your NA I reckon you're better off buying a VL Turbo then work from there.

just buy an XR6T, it'll be cheaper in the long run, safer and cost less to insure as well
BA's are under 10K and even the FG's aren't expensive and are great cars

VL's are uncomfortable old POS that are only good if they are very tidy and you dont have to drive them daily!
