BA XR8 80-160kph

Here's a short in-gear acceleration vid in my BA XR8.

I counted 80-160kph in 7.3secs which ain't bad for a 4-speed auto...

She has all the bolt-on mods and makes 258rwkw.

Thanks for looking.

nice.... been looking into superchargers but i'm not sure if the reliability will suffer.... did the exhaust make much of an improvement???

The headers will make a huge difference to performance and the quality of the the exhaust note...some people reckon the 3" difillipo's drone a lot which is why I recommend a 2.5" system.

Superchargers work great with the BOSS 260 because they have a lower comp ratio (9.5) than the GT's, but they are expensive with a decent KB setup costing around $12k.

Keeping boost around 8psi will see a healthy 320rwkw or about 540hp at the crank and a mountain of torque!

Good luck with it mate...

Thanks mate, mods are as follows....

Pacemaker headers/Hi-flow cats, 2.5" APC quad system, CAI (BMC Filter), Powerpipe, Helix spacer, 25% Race Underdrives and a Custom tune.

Good for well over 250rwkw!
