Bad News - Sunday a friend came by with his newly installed Powerworks Supercharger in his 03 SVTF ZX5...let me tell you...very fast, pulls like a freight train....what the SVTF should have been like from the factory...He and another friend installed it in a weekend basically...the bad news is it's not installed on my SVTF.
Good News - He wants to trade his center exit Borla exhaust with diffuser for my Borla exhaust with stock diffuser in hopes of quieting his down using his ORP pipe...it's happening this Friday night...thanks to Jeremy....who is letting us use his garage...and whose Focus Sedan is by far the nicest around.

Checked on financing and I would have to go through one of the vendors that offers financing.
As for numbers.
The Zetec kit pushes the car to 200-220HP(I think that is flywheel HP).
The SVT and Duratec kits will odviously get you to a higher number. I'm gonna gurss in the 250 range, maybe higher. Unless the 220 is the SVT number????
Sure it will! The gearing on the SVT is limited to a max of 165mph or something similar. But with our power and a mile or 3 can only get up to ~140ish. But if you bump up the power we will be able to get closer to 160 in the same distance or shorter.
I think you'll be able to get there faster but I doubt the Focus will hit 160. And a SC provides more power but the gearing will still be the same. I bet at 140 ish your RPM's are damn near pegged.

Whats the SVT's rev limiter set at, 7200? Like I said there isn't any way that car is going to hit 160 (20MPH+) with 1K RPM range. Also even if you could get the car moving at 160mph, don't blink, the car is by no means set up to hit speeds like that. The body stlye itself isn't going to react well.

Yeah! there is no need for 160. I was a little more curious about 0-60 and 1/4 mile times. I would guess maybe in the low 6's to high 5's for 0-60 and maybe 13's to 14's for 1/4 mile. Does that sound about right to everybody?
