With XFT now offering the aluminum 5.4 blocks we have been SWAMPED with enquiries regarding us supplying complete engine. As many of you already know I wont sell something that we havent already tested ourselves. I had an offer on the table for my current engine so it made sence to build an ali one to find all the little issues we would have and get the knowledge needed to start building these monsters for customers.

I tested some minor changes on ports that I was keen to try and built the first proto engine. Fitted it and fired it yesturday. Everything so far looks great, Car handles and steers quite different, Kinda weird when you consider its not ALOT different in weight, only around 50 kilos but its made ahuge impact. Initial run up showed a drop in boost so the head porting is working perfectly. Then it was time to test the new throttle body that XFT will now be stocking. It gained 38 RWKW's with the new throttle body over the original twin 60 mm. Ill get some graphs up when I get a chance to finish the tuning. The blocks themselves are a very well set up piece. With some minor changes to suit our Australian gear they certainly are going to make for some interesting builds around the country.

Thanks
