If the motor is same as a falcon motor, you can do many things to 'improve' its performance . My neighbour owns a hotted up XL falcon with a 4.1 motor . It goes like a bat out of hell . It's fitted with a high compression 2V head and extractors , standard cam . Mustang rear end , disc brakes . C4 auto . The later X-flow motors are so de-tuned for low pollution - it's a joke . My XF is a slug .
