Only minor trimming is needed with all the Rapid System kits...
I ran the V3.5 (iirc) with the 4" intake & airbox, hoooge cooler, 3" hot & Cold sidepipes, battery relocated to the boot and I only had to shave a little bit of a join behind the bumper reo to get the cooler core fitting perfectly..
Chris does supply de-structions for his kits though...and is only a phone call away if you get stuck..
Cant recommend Chris and his products highly enough

was going threw my photobucket and found these
my super dooper (lol) wide mouth intake with ss inductions growler CAI, the growler makes a great induction sound
and if you look hard enough you can just see the JMM headers and yes i know its still missing a snail hanging off the side :p
and my lil DIY boot install

In my mind I won the day (haha) at least I bought her home in one piece :) Was not a timed event and lots to learn in understanding the limits. Had 4 track runs for the day.. Car was fantastic although have done suspension and brakes in the last 6 months + new Nitto tyres, although at the time I did not realise I would have a track day. Will probably do at least a couple of track days a year... to justify more modifications. Now to find a set of (F)8.5" / (R)9.5" x 19" staggard rims to get some more rubber on the road.... Although my current 245x35x19 did a better than expected good although lost traction coming onto boost out of a few of the slower corners. Larger rear brakes was a very worthy upgrade pulled up really hard coming off the front straight at ~200. Although aftermarket rims will let me get into a even bigger brake setup in a few years. Learning fast its handling (suspension/brakes) over sheer power.
Home in one piece is always good. I know a guy who used to get in on track days with an FG XR8 (back when they made them), and he always called coming home straight a win.
Easy to forget how big a Falcon is until you need to pull the bastards up quick :P Have you tweaked the psi to see if you can get a few extra herbies out of her?
My old man's been debating trying to swindle an XR6T to replace his current XR6 work car - seeing as how it'll probably be his last new Falcon, sounds like a swell idea. Better yet, I'll need to babysit his car in a few months when he goes overseas. I mightn't even mind the fact that I'll need to drive to South Oz every weekend for a few weeks while he's away. I suspect I'll earn a pretty healthy respect for it pretty damn quickly :P
