The factory one is good for a lot more than what you will achieve so would be wasted coin doing it.

I think bcl threw a h/balancer. not sure which car it was on or at what power level.

He switched back to the factory balancer and power picked back up and the vibration disappeared.There was also a filmclip of an interview with a bloke at Atomic who explained something about the harmonic balancer. Can't remember where I saw that one though. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/56116-what-else-to-do/#findComment-850205 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stock BF springs are quite good, however they will suffer after time. Considering my car felt much stronger at stock power levels with aftermarket springs I think this would be a good upgrade for you.

BPS have done a all my tunning from day one.. and are very happy to keep me. dam.. was hoping not to fork out money for valve springs.. :( would I be close to 400 with these mods?
