I ran 15.4 in my EF with a 3" exhaust, stock extractors, underdrive pullies and a 76mm MAF, but when it was totally stock I did get beaten by an EL GLi 6cyl auto with extractors.
I think a dyno run would be a good start, as well as doing an ECU self-test, as described in the link below. http://www.fordmods.com/forums/documents.php?doc=52

I remember when i bought my EL GHIA i was investigating the 6 or 8 option, the tickford six in the ghia was 162kw and the 5litre was 165, now taking into consideration the v8 is heavier, yet has a bit more torque, i'm guessing they'd be virtually the same in a straight line, to a certain speed.

in my opinion, in stock form, the extra 2 cylinders with the 8's slowed them down..
and also, the 6 being lighter it revved a little harder.. but then again, throw exactly the same mods to the 6 and the 8, the 8 will benefit more and pull infront where by rights it should already be.. |

Its all about the mod factor really..
EL Auto 6 with just extractors takes a VN 5.0 and an EF xr8 in a straight line. The latter two being stock, and auto. But if you apply the same mods to the 8, i cant see it being beaten by the 6. But then there is the boost factor... These 6s really do come out and play with a snail bolted on  e e

For stock and mildly modded E series the 6 is a better thing than the eight for everything but towing if you're tone deaf.
the windsors do sound really nice and if you get into cam and head mods will kill a six and sound good and rev like buggery comapred to the six. They just cost more to mod and to run. I have run down so many 5 litre e series its not funny they aren't a fast car unless they have quite a few mods or are a manual. |

Does anyone know what the weight of the I6 engine is compared to the V8 engine?

Had a little race today against a mate, hes running a NL Fairlane Concord, I'm running a stock EL GLI. I had at least 20 mtrs on him at the end. Just kept pulling away. Then again, the Fairlane is a heavy car.

Stiddy, the 5.0 has a smaller stroke than the 4.0, and this helps it to rev easier. |

Windsors with alloy heads are roughly 10kg lighter than a SOHC I6.....
