I definitely like how it still retains the somewhat stock look.

When is the pulley going on? Are you doing a tune with it?

It would be an inexpensive upgrade for you - as you already have the Y-Pipe and hoses - you'll just need the air boxes and intake tubes.

I am still waiting for delivery of the 185mm Pulley & Iridium Plugs.

I will get the ECU tuned - Just not sure by whom. I may go with a local shop in the SF Valley that has dyno. I plan on keeping my A/F ratios in the safe zone rather then chase peak HP. Not that I don't have big plans if I ever grenade the engine - but I just paid for the XF so I figure I should enjoy it for a while.

I am sure when I get the pulley, plugs and tune done - It will be fast.

I already have wings so I guess my next need would be an orbital re-entry proccessor.
