Sorry if you thought I was passing judgment. I just was wondering what you were doing with it. But your posts explains it. It's like the Ek9 I had, so i know here your coming from, but I had a K20 w/ K24 head in mine, so power wasn't a issue: 222 whp .

That's about the same power I'm looking to acheive. Between 210-230whp on approx 10psi. Parts sure aren't as readily available for the Ford Focus like Hondas are.

Sorry that I'm not rich and couldn't afford another 30K car to play with.

Alan, congrats on the 7.9 pass. That's pretty damn fast for a pump gas car, especially at the Q. It will be interesting to see what your car is really capable of when you get your 60' times lower. Perhaps a trip to a real 1/4 mile track is in order.
yeah ROB, we can't all have two Evos!! Lolz!

Thanks for the comment, I am going back on June 22nd for a run with my 111oct tune....hoping for 7.5's...I might even hit up fontana on test and tune day if i can score some cash...

And about my 60' times...I need to get my Fusion HRI's back on the car. I was able to cut 1.7's all night long before with these tires. I got a set of BBS SE wheels that have healthy Advans on them and cant cut a 1.7 for the life of me! All i do is spin, spin, and spin some more even at 27lbs per tire...and leave the tree side ways too! I had better luck with them cheapo tires than I do with the advans....crazy huh!?

Roush makes a turbo kit for the older 2.0 Zetec focuses. I'm on a 2.0 Duratec motor. Not a whole lot of selection for parts. Ford Racing is just now coming out with some good stuff, but FI is the best and quickest way to get good power. Only problem is that the motor's internals need to be built if you go over the 230whp mark.
