In a Corty with the right gearing, that puts you in the 13's... Respect!

Pretty sure Tyler06's last engine was somewhere around 270rwhp.

Well there's really no issue with them if set up correctly.With the added fact that almost all modern cars run thermo fans with no belt driven fan sort of makes the point loud and clear.Hard to argue with that really unless the big car manufacturers are all wrong of course?

For me it's based on the colour of the car and wheels to be used.On new style big inch rims thin red walls every day on any make colour.On my White XF Ghia I run red walls on snowies and no walls on my 19's.But for that Blue sedan in the picture I would only use white walls on smaller rims or stockers. 

Got anything positive to say about other people's opinions and ideas?

The last one I did was stuck in there good, possibly spun and welded itself. If cups are too hard to knock out with a drift or slide hammer, I run a bead of mig weld all round inside the cup, then as the weld cools, the cup shrinks and will literally fall out, every time. Just be careful not to weld the cup to the tube. You'll be in a world of shit if you do.

Rightio so instead we should all run belt driven fans? Maybe a clutch fan? I much prefer knowing that my thermo runs as i want it when i want it! I didnt do it for the extra 5hp i did it for common sense but hey i also dont have a waterpump to bolt it to so maybe a bit of necessity not to mention my massive radiator that leaves me short of room. Jeez wat a dickhead i am :-/

I hate engine-driven fans. They work the hardest when you don't need them (on the highway) and the least when you need them the most (at idle).
 
They clutter up your engine bay, and are a bitch when you need to do work on something, like changing belts on the side of the road. They put lots of strain on your belts (ever revved a cold engine and done a sick fan belt burnout?) and as you stated, take horsepower (and fuel) to run exactly when they're not needed.
 
so I guess I'm one of those dickheads then?

MSD actually started making em for Pro Stock which then filtered down to us...Who said racing is pointless for production car's. 

Did you run it in with light springs and did you use a oil like Joe Gibbs run in oil and assemble every thing with a high quality paste?How heavy are the springs you used also?What lifters are you using?
 
I have had it with flat tappet cams and my run procedure is pretty intense these days as a result.

Hahaha beat me again

Procomp is awesome thanos go for it.

awesome bro...

So for my last side track of Marks thread...When are we gunna see some of these engine you helped your mates with bro.I'd be interested in seeing em and how you work as we all can learn off each other still.Keep all your secrets but a basic run down with some pics will re-enthuse some of us.

Good on ya bud...bet the old bloke would be proud of the effort.The bonus is you get a killer looking XE.

^^^This clown^^^ is stuck in the late 90's....std dizzy what a tool...I'm supprised he didin't try to sell some regraphed peice of shit he so happed to just have sitting there!!
 
Use the Hall effect sensor dizzy and MSD 6al-2 and you'll be laughing. Might not be a massive gain now (but will be noticeable) but if your like me and alot of other people that igition setup will support a bigger set of mods that you may do in the future so may as well do it once now.

And there lies the single biggest issue with 99% of X-flow owners.Most want $10,000 performance for $10.It just doesn't work that way.I know there basically a old tractor luggin snot box of a thing but performance parts cost money and alot are custom made or a "found" item from another brand or make that just happens to work.
 
I have a custom girdle custom pan,custom stud kit,custom guide plates custom pipes and the list goe's on and on.If it was a SS they would not think twice about dropping $4000 on a set of wheels and another $4000 on a stereo but god dam if they will spend $400 on a manifold? 
 
We need to get people out of that way of thinking and accept if we want to go fast we have spend money on needed parts even if it is just a old tractor engine. 

Ummm yeah I wan't to know this bit too...?

Slydogs cortina????? Where lol
