Hey Scott / all,

(hopefully ths mags arrived ok?)

Just thought I'd let you know that the next issue of my magazine will be onsale here next month and features an Aussie Ford Falcon XR6 turbo on the cover. www.performancebuildups.com

I'm not too sure if you’ve seen these yet, but they’re the latest craze in Australia. They have a 4.0L DOHC inline 6 and now that people are starting to play a little harder with then are getting quicker and quicker. The current fastest one is running a 10.20 @135, but the black one in the attached pictures (next cover car in my magazine) ran a 10.40 on a lazy pass and is now being stripped, caged and fitted with a Powerglides. Here’s a video is the one that ran 10.20 in Melbourne http://media.putfile.com/xr6turbonet

To give you an idea of what they’re capable of, the fastest one about 2 months ago had run a 10.60 still running a totally standard unopened engine and a standard turbo! :D

Boxer :thumbsup:

No, I haven't seen them yet. They must be taking the long route from Australia. lol

Wow, those are some quick little 6 cylinders...

Somewhere on the 'net there's an 1100hp engine dyno video floating around. Mmmmm, glowing headers. :D

Yup, Nizpro's one. That'll be getting bolted into a sport compact ProRWD car soon. Not sure if it was running alcohol or not on the dyno. Probably not.

Scott, I just called about the mags. They completely screwed it up. A new batch is on its way :)
