I just ordered my intake from CTA Motorsports laugh laugh laugh so hopefully by next week, I'll have it in. For those who have the CTA intake, was it worth the money? Pros and cons? Was there a noticable power gain? I'm waiting on a fellow CEGer for the SVT exhaust so soon I'll have them both done.

I think that some appearance mods are due now. I didn't really want to wait for BNM HVAC white panel so for $14.95 I said what the hell and ordered the Import Intelligence one. That should be here next week also. I also have painted the interior a little bit. I plan on doing interior in purple and the outside gold. The gold will be like this laugh

Hey ZetecRacing, how has the underdrive pulley mod worked out for you? Is there a big noticable power gain?

Yes, the CTA makes a noticeable power gain. I certainly noticed the difference when I took it back out...


96 GL Zetec ATX, white with pinstripe, nickname " Sam Smooth "
mods so far: CTA intake with homemade heat shield, KVR drilled front rotors & carbon pads w/ 500° fluid
planned mods: exhaust (want to keep it quiet), e-ram (awaiting installation), diablo chip
involuntary mods: compression increased after head gasket failure

with my dyno I just did on the 6th I had just added the pulley and I got 2hp and 8tq over my last dyno I could care less about the low hp increase but the torque increase shows my butt dyno was corrent in saying it improved my acceleration. so I would say get it it works well BTW I have the Esslinger pulley soon I should have the alternator pulley from ZXtuner, I will be the first tour with the alt. pulley so I will let all know if it works or not. Not sure where you are at in Wisconsin but Locozetecse are in the chicago area and could help with mods if you needed.
