Any advice is appreciated.

Also the head on the pre 98 is different than the 98+ other than the VCT....like timing belt pulley placement.

The VCT heads have the cam sensor on the wrong camshaft(will cause ignition problems) and also has a sensor located between the shafts next to the timing belt for the VCT. So if you have a VCT car you will have to stay with a vct casting or swap your wiring harness and ecu. 95 Contour, Custom EVO bodykit, 2.0l, PNP Focus head, Stage 2 cams, Je pistons, Eagle rods, 4in1header, 2.5" header back exhaust(complete stainless), D P nitrous, ram air intake, 10mm wires, flamethrower.
