Redhawk ....Time to lay this fairytale aside...... Donating Members 2,657 Member For: 22y 2m 8d Gender: Male Location: In the Ferry on the River Styx, not getting out just yet! Posted 14/08/04 12:14 AM Share Posted 14/08/04 12:14 AM Don't know about pulling the motor out to do the headers, have seen a few pacemakers go in and the motors did not have to be taken out.232rwkw for a totally unmodded 290 Boss is pretty good, a manual I would say. I would imagine he could see just over 240 with the headers. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/12331-gt-rwkw/#findComment-154468 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master G Donating Members 511 Member For: 21y 6m 25d Gender: Male Location: Sydney NSW Posted 14/08/04 01:35 AM Share Posted 14/08/04 01:35 AM When motor mag did the great Aussie muscle car shoot out they dynoed the GT at 225 rwkw and the HSV at 218 rwkw, of course we all know that the Turbo ended up winning the day across all the tests. I have had the chance on a couple of occasions to run against GT's and have found that anywhere from 0-150 I have been in front which would support a rwkw around the 225 mark, allowing for the weight difference, 230+ would be a good sorted stock GT, just like a Stock T putting out 200+ at the rears. Of course the sound and the look, ahhhh RegardsGJ Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/12331-gt-rwkw/#findComment-154478 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe alot of other tuning houses have made or modified a spanner so that the engine remains in the vehicle.

They drop the motor and gearbox under the car. They say that they can do the job a lot easier and line up headers better. less risk to customers car also. Does'nt take them very longthey were also dynoing a GT pulled 242rwkw Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/12331-gt-rwkw/#findComment-155301 Share on other sites More sharing options...
