Velocity AP tuning: 600+ lb-ft
http://www.velocityap.com/Jaguar-Land-Rove...dv6ecu.htm
These guys are sponsors at RangeRovers.net and claim they've tuned the
out of the Td6 engine. 300+ hp and 600+ "torques". In that forum's post, they were claiming 486 lb-ft at the WHEELS.
If you're going to refill your AdBlue and change your oil every other day, might as well have some fun.
Fully reversible for trips to the dealer.... -

Gas or diesel? 300hp for the gas engine is fine, but there's nowhere near 600lb-ft of torque in the gassers. The old VW Touareg V10 TDI "only" made 550lb-ft of torque from 5.0 liters. We can't get the Td6 in any Jaaaaags here.
They have ECU tunes for the supercharged 6's that boost to around 400+hp, and 450hp if you add the pulley. That would be a blast in the XE or XF - I love the way Jaguar tunes their steering.
I've always thought that around 300hp in the Td6 would make it a better engine for passing on the highway. The current state of tune with the 8-speed isn't bad, but it requires downshifting, and building up a head of steam. 300hp would make it more responsive for passing 50-70mph. Or 70-85mph depending on the law enforcement situation.

I totally agree with DieselRanger.
You had too drop down a gear and let the turbo spool up, too gain enough momentum for a safe overtake with the diesel engine. (I am sure i already posted this way back).
Pity it was not boosted up too 300bhp in the first place though, as it would have been a cracking engine.
Will report over the weekend how i find the 3.0L petrol compared too the 3.0L diesel, although i do know the petrol is drinking more

RR - just got back after a 1,122 km drive. Definitely thirstier but not bad...door-to-door average speed of 113km/h with overall consumption of 11.4 liters per 100 km.
Biggest issue is the bloody cost of petrol in France....€1.70 vs €1.25 per liter here...
Wow 45 euros per litre more expensive
Only £1.22 per litre for normal unleaded and £1.27 for Shell Optimax up here.
I filled it up too the brim with £98 worth of Optimax last week, and that was on top of the 1/4 still left in the tank.
Am just glad that it's not £1.50 a litre like a few years ago. Also remember it used too be £1 for a litre a good few years back.
Was having a squint at the stats last night on the infotainment system. It showed highest mpg achieved was 25 and the lowest was 12
Seems the Mrs has a heavier right foot than I do -
