With the advent of Fash Tune, G&D have been tuning an increasing number of Falcons.
Those of you with an AU will be well aware of the effort required for each KW gain. In the context of V8s and turbo sixes picking up 28 rwkw after a tune and mods may not seem a big deal. When you start at 119 rwkw and gain close to 28 rwkw you are approaching a 25% increase in rear wheel power. G&D started with a stock AU six. All modifcations were bolt on - the engine internals were not touched. First the exhaust went to be replaced by Pacemaker competition spec extractors and a G&D spec mandrel bent 2.5 exhaust system fitted with a high flow metal substrate catalytic convertor. The air inlet was replaced with the G&D Air Box and Intake Kit. Using Flash Tune and G&D’s tuning expertise healthy gains were made in both power and torque throughout the rpm range. If you want to book your AU in for a tune or simply want to know more about what G&D can do for your AU give Glenn or Matt a call on 5996 1813. Onscreen view to give an indication of the multiple parameters available for tuning with Flash Tune. |

Very good numbers from an XR6. Auto or manual?
Also, would have been nice to see what each mod actually did. Oh, and its coming to Heathcote next time right?

Has to be a manual, I agree.
Hasnt lost anything down low though, its an overall increase and the real low part of the graph is irrelevant anyhow, thats major low rpms no on would drive at anyhow. The real gains are there to see up high. Mind you, at 119rwkw stock it's a hell of an engine to start with anyhow.. most XR6's dont run that stock.

It's a manual,all testing was started from a low 1500rpm.Next step will be a camshaft upgrade.Unfortunately the owner isn't a drag racer but maybe we can pursuade him _2: Looking forward to applying this formula to some BA I6's.

Looks like I'll have to up the power or change the diff in mine. Too many manual XR6's with good power numbers getting around at the moment.

Well done Glenn and the boys at G & D for getting behind other Ford models, it's another string to the bow and going by the interest generated there's no shortage of potential customers wanting their AU's going quicker

Thats a really good improvement for a stock internal engine. Just two question though if you could ..What would be the differences between manual and auto's power? Also the head on the test car appears to be a hp motor...would these results be similar with a standard AU six head?
Cheers Stav

I like the look of the airbox. I've got a replacement intake pipe that fits the EF-size pipe mouth, not the smaller AU size - would your box mate to the pipe?
I'm on the other side of Melbourne, so getting to Cranbourne is tough. If you could do a tune on a Saturday I would definitely be interested.

Looks like I might go the flash tuner in the future as I won't be selling the AU in a hurry as in the next year I will trade the wifesMazda SP20 in for a Mazda CX-7 as the family car.
