I don't see what people are getting at.. Ratter is right.. The 5.4 with the right setup is quick..

Realistically speaking even though it may not be as fast as some T's its still a quick enough street car..

so to put it in perspective- how much would you need to spend to get 350rwkw from a boss?

No idea.. Never modded one.. But even an FG isn't easy to get to 350rwkw..

One of my old flat mates had a BF XR8.. Minimal mods - full zorst, intake, tune etc.. It wasn't a slow car.. And the power perfectly matched the grip capability of the tyres so it was quick out of the hole..

dollar per kw if fails miserably....

my old ba gt mk2 had

dephilipo exhaust...

exttactorss

4/11 diff gears

cold air intake

cams

tune

injectors

clutch

bunch of other crap I don't remember coz it was a long long time ago and it made 302rwkw (manual) which was still chit coz ohmo worst performance shop in Adelaide I was stupid enough to go to didn't foot cam chain properly and on cruise control at 90kmph spat the timing chain out the front of the timing chain cover and had a hole I could fit my hand in in the front of my engine... oh joy.

felt quick... coz manual...

but spent mega mega $$$$

bought my bf mk2 and got a tune only and made 245rwkw and was just as quick and coz auto smacked it...

if spent what was spent on gt on xr6t or f6 you ld have Made 400 probably 450 easy peasy

to make 350 on the boss you need forced induction, depending on which set up you go for depends on what the cost will be, my car did 11.7 with approx 280 rwkw
