Magnuson Moss warranty act my friend.

As for mods:
1) intake
2) exhaust
3) intercooler
4) exhaust
5) Flash

I plan to do stages in that order and put on the rollers to get data. Dyno's dont lie! :)

Probably won't touch it honestly. Bone stock and a 10yr/100k doesn't sound bad at all. However, I did come across a 300 SRT8 and a Chevy SS the other day. Boy do I have a decision to make...[???:)]

From what I've seen from following Pross_garage on Instagram. Just a Downpipe, Exhaust and Tune should net you right around 400-413whp on the V6TT. Not sure if this was a RWD or AWD.

So as of now we have a cold air intake, exhaust, piggy-back tune, lowering springs that's available.

We still need downpipe, coilovers, custom flash tune, larger intercooler, catch can and maybe big turbo.

Hopefully [MENTION=217]Jonnytig[/MENTION] will be adding some of those parts soon.

Definately Dan. We are rolling it up on dyno Monday for some base power and afr measurements. We have design worked out for a good cai. Intercooler has been drawn up. Core size is 680x320x100. Its a light weight tube n fin core that we have had excellent sucess with. Currently used on fastest SA street cars running low 8sec ets. I ran the same core on my turbo Ford G6e. It went 10.7@133mph with totally stock engine and trans. Tuning is looking to be the hard bit atm. Have msgd Lap3 about their chip. We have 98 octane fuel in Australia though. Plans are to put the Stinger on E85 eventually. We start fabbing the twin 3" turbo back system next week with 100cell cats...Heres a pic of my Ford for you guys in States

Quick question [MENTION=217]Jonnytig[/MENTION]. Do you see any part fitment issues between the RHD Stinger and LHD Stinger?

Sweet ride. I'm glad you brought up plans to go E85, I ran E85 on my Focus ST and its hard to revert back. Keep us updated with your progress.

Only difference i can see will be the turbo down pipes. I know Kia had to change a bit to suit for Australia. Apart from that identicle ????

E85 is the best. Took power on my G6 from 355rwkw to 446rwkw. Looking into tuning software atm. Sent some pics of pcm of to my software guru. Hopefully we can do full tailored pcm reflash soon aswell

You just made my day.[twothumb]


Another quick question for you. Can you let me know if the exhaust tips are part of the rear valance or does it actually connect to the exhaust?

Done the wheels, exhaust, chip and bought some body styling parts. Awaiting Brembo to advise on a bigger brake set up 380mm GTR with 6 spot callipers. Borg warner do a scroll turbo but have yet to find out size. Intercooler 800hp available almost here in Australia. No one seems to want to touch the engine as in a full strip down and re build.

Where did you get that big Stinger decal from?

Why do you need bigger brakes? Wheel rendering looks good, what brand is that?
