Simon of Xtreme Ford Tuning has acquired a new FG XR8 ute to see what is possible with a force-fed 8 cylinder in comparison to a turbo 6 cylinder.

The new ute has now had its 2000km old engine removed, rebuilt and refitted into its engine bay with a 2.8 H Kenne Bell super charger.

 Initial tests at 13.7 PSI of boost have now seen power jump to 458.9 RWKW's. With the boost soon to be set to 23-25 PSI we will be expecting our power goals to be met.

Since initial run of the XFT KB ute its now passed the 500 rwkw mark. First it made 500 RWKW's on 15 pounds. Then it made 533 rwkw's on 17 pounds.
