Remove 3.6 and install a 4.0Litre. Makes a difference!

My daughter mighty 3.6 goes like stink. Now at 245K kms, and she DRIVES that damn thing as only a female can.

Twin thermo fans, so no engine drag from that huge sucker.

Trans and p/steer both cooled via external coolers, so the cooling system has less stress. No more power, just made sense at the fan time.

She runs 10W40 Nulon Synthetic in it, and that also helps.

Synthetic trans fluid sharpened up that ZF heaps.

Only 98 octane fuel.

Thats all I can recall she has done to it, but it is certainly significantly nippier than when she got it home many years ago.
