Default au xr8 edit

just curious with all the power starved i6 gang getting thier fill of edit info is there any au XR8 drivers who have the edit as yet + what sort of gains are to be had compared to the chips. understanding that chips are good enough with basic mods but the edit is a "must have" for the advanced work (cams head work auto shift points ext.) .. most of the info seems to be about the boring motors, whoops.......... that"s BOSS motors :evil3:
lol....Whoosha

you said it right those power starved I6's ! Pesky little bugga's lol.........
Oh come on XR6-VCT-2000 ? Not in front anymore ? Come on they still are IN FRONT when we are talking Pre BA, regardless of how far or how little doesn't matter.
A modded I6 kicks butt but what are you comparing ? Stock v's stock ? Mod for Mod ?
Now back on topic.....
Whoosha as much as I reckon the Edit is not as good for us compared to the BA's curiousity has got the better of me lol....I was hoping to sit back and watch philstoj results but the taxman made him pay back the extra moneys he has been making lol......
I'm hoping the next couple of weeks Edit will be done.

I plan to bend Glenns ear on it a little more although I am still a skeptic.. he's trying to convince me but I'm just not over the line yet.

I was just stiring worms ..lol , jokin around , and i was on about a slightlly worked 6 compared agains a stock 8 ;) ..lol .. ) even my old heavy *** XE v8 would of still whipped this xr6 i got now , but i just think the newer I6 nowerdays is a nice engine compared to like the old 250 cross flow - although with a decent cam they were'nt too bad in their time either .. ;) - happy motoring ..

I gotta admit i still love v8's - i was a bee'z d1ck away from getting a xr8 but even at 33 with excellent insurance history - it was gonna cost me an arm and a leg to insure it - gee even this six i got they made darn sure it didnt have a turbo !
