Cheers man I was thinking of putting a blower on it at one stage but decided against it.
I'll kill myself or lose my license. Its got plenty of power for the street. Might still throw in some 4.11 diff gears but that's about it.

So I got my ute re-tuned yesterday it was running a little lean so Chris just put a bit more fuel into it and backed off the timing a little and it hit 231rwkw.

I'm pretty happy so far it just keeps getting more power as the engine runs in. My first run after my rebuild I ran 209rwkw then after the first tune 221rwkw now 231rwkw.

Chris thinks he could still pull a bit more out of it so I'm going to go back and see him soon to get a catch can and re-tune.

Man first tune was $700 then retune was free next tune I will pay for though. But its only a retune and only takes around 8 runs so wont be much.

I think I should be able to come along I dont think I have any plans for then

Saw your ute out front of the Grand Hotel in Healesville on Wednesday night I think it was? Maybe Tuesday night... Looks alright mate, but you need a hard cover on it

Reckon there's another 10 - 20kws in the engine?

Yeah that was mine I go to the pub once or twice a week. I have a hard cover just never fitted it as its kind of an inconvenience I'm always carting motors, parts, steel, bikes so having it on would mean its always got to be tied shut.
When my corolla is finished I'll probably throw it on.

I reckon it may have another 10rwkw but that's it the most I've seen in a boss 260 with all the same mods as mine is 249rwkw. It sucks cause I've done every bolt on mod so now the only thing left to give me more power is a blower.
