My '03 Ford BA XR8 gets some last minute upgrades and finally gets tuned on the dyno! 

hey man loving it all bro i was wondering to be in touch with you about my ute because I've inherited it

Haha, the honesty and just nailing the FN job go hand in hand brother 🤣👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Just stumbled on your channel, good shit. My ole BF XR8 ute was pretty sluggish too, I fixed it by trading it on another ute with a LS in it 😂

I can vouch my boss 2nd 3rd gear pulls remain legal lol ...in mexico hahaha

All right tune tec

Yours crackles mine backfires 😂😍 love it

Sick man, quite interesting to see the difference a simple tune on something like this can do. Hope the top end isn't too bad!

That dyno graph looks the part. Making a bunch more torque earlier is always going to make it feel waaaay better. I wish I'd been able to get the Mondeo tuned, I had a similar issue, the ST220 cams were a hair more aggressive than the standard 3 litre cams you got in the ST 3L and the Taurus, but you certainly noticed it in the bottom end, there was absolutely nothing home until you were clear of 3 grand.

Look at your timing guide every common issue 😅 btw sounds like its got more punch loving the build

sounds mint man!!! Does it have diff gears (3.7s / 4.11s) or have you thought of getting some installed? they really wake the old 5.4 up!!

rear passenger side cylinder head rattle will be the exhaust valve, super normal on the early 4v heads, get yourself some boss 290 heads and a rear coolant line from MMR or something, the 290 doesn't do it bc it has stainless steel valves, degree the stock cams in as they can be out from the factory, or 4.6 cobra (Same gearbox) or LS swap or FG k frame swap and coyote/Godzilla swap (keeping your gearbox)

what rims are these? look sick, might entertain the idea of running them on my au xr8 ute if they're still in production!
