Wild idea but has anybody modified one of the EcoBoost Falcons to get more power? Perhaps the EcoBoost engine into a XR sedan?

What benefit would you get from fitting an EB engine to an XR chassis? Wouldnt you just modify an EcoBoost in its current chassis, ie G6?

Because then you would have a G4 instead of a XR4!

Why not? Modify the EcoBoost to get more power and have a lighter car with a lot less weight on the front end meaning better handling.

Ecoboost 2.3, plus some mods should be close to 300kw.
Might run high 12s? G6 ecoboost is only 1670kg, about 200kg lighter than my Sprint.
