Said should give it about 365rhp. What do you guys think about these figures and prices are they about right? I have an 08 XR6t auto.

I would have thought piping would have been fairly expensive but depends on what you are after - I know some who have spent close to $4k on exhaust piping alone. And did you really mean hp or rwkW? I wouldn't call myself an expert on these things, but I think achieving 365rwkW on what you have said seems a bit optimistic. There's no mention of injectors or fuel pump or intercooler - generally the guys on here pushing over 300rwkW have done a lot more than an edit, air filter and some exhaust piping.

Thanks SangerSo about 1k to fit it all and tune, I would say about average.. 365 is about 270kw not sure what the max is on stock injectors for the FG's but you would be mad not spending and extra 350ish to get them put in as well.I was also under the impression that it will make 270 with tune only. I'm sure everyone else will be able to clear that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then when I can afford injectors and the intercooler piping and xcal go for the big tune then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
