hey everybody my name is devan and i am new to this team focus thing. I am currently 17 years old and i have had my focus for 2 years. My focus has come a long way since i bought it. I have put the cervinis bodykit on it that came with the top wing and the mid wing... i have icw gunmetal racing rims with a polished lip and i have a three A racing muffler on it there is so much to do but i want to start on the engine... but i dont know where to start if you guys could help me that would be great... thanx
Hi Dev. welcome to TF. Glad to have you here. Intake, exhaust & under drive pulleys, (UDP's) are some common 1st mods. You might want to consider some 9mm plug wires from Ford Racing. They really smooth things out.

Hey Devan Welcome! Seeing you have a Cerveni's kit (sweet, BTW) you sound like the "go big or go home" type. You'll probably want to go forced induction, either nitrous or supercharged. You'll want a nice free flowing exhaust to shove all that stuff out, along with a header (the racing style, not the street style) and flex section.
One of these days I'll whip up a few intakes again, until then, check out F2 Focus' CAI. It's nice, and actually quite well priced.

Start Small - CAI, Suspension...I'm betting you'd like the SVT suspension...not a lot of cost, but you get results w/ OEM stuff., UDP, 65mm TB, 9mm plug wires & exhaust.
Do your research though - be EXTREMELY cautious w/ the stuff on ebay or that are 'cheap' knock offs. They can run you more in the long run in repairs &/or frustration.
The next steps would be FI as mentioned or heck, if you have the $$$ and want it, check out Powerworks and their very nice Supercharger.

i dissagree. i'd say get the chip last. so you can program it with all your modifications in mind and the chip will take advantage of all of it, making it even better
