Because 380 is HUGE power, not just big power ;)

Its also a massive % increase for just a tune

Lol have you been in a boss model yet? My manager has one and they absolutely hammer.. Didn't actually believe ford brought out such a powerful car from factory in AUS

380rwkw without mods? :mellow:

what do they weigh?

About 1800, maybe a bit less which is expected I guess for a big car.. got about 300kgs on my old GTR :O.. still do a tune and your in 11s.

Other vids online to back this up as well / all info on forums etc

Standard boost just drops off so much

They go alright:

This ones got a catback and a tune, nothing else

I met a bloke the other day selling a Callaway Corvette..90k if anyones interested..still left hook though

11 sec in stock trim and 200mph+ top speed

much the same as this one

Enjoy 380rwkw on pos stock tyres/suspension/brakes

When you bringing it to a meet Leigh?

Obviously upgrade the 245s, and will be doing brembos / suspension down the track as well

Whenever the next meet is !

Saving for a few months, what are they made of gold? Get a Blitz CS and stick with the standard plenum...

Lol studying full time+part time wages=not a lot of cashola.

Yeah I've read that that upgrading the plenum on a standard turbo isn't really worth it as I won't see any real gains but by doing it now with a FMIC it means I won't have to do it down the track and it'll support future mods better (ie. upgraded turbo). What I liked about the plazmaman plenum was that it retained the standard factory runners. Essentially I'm not after a car that's a dyno king rather a quick car with some good midrange torque.

interesting leigh!

the car was running 118's @ full weight, anyone know enough about boring/pointless/homo drag racing to derive a rwkw figure from that?

FWIW i ran consistent 119's with 325rwkw @ 1350kg

Going by that post, you do not need a plenum upgrade and are only wasting your money if you get one. And it doesn't sound like you have a big disposable income so why bother?

If you're not after a dyne king, rather a fast street car, turbos like a gt-rs are where you'd be looking, and you don't need an aftermarket plenum for that.

If you ever decide to get a turbo that does warrant a plenum upgrade, thats when you buy one...

What about that fluke 190mph pass Ham? No need to be modest

    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
