I just got the new summit racing today. on page 135 they have a Jet power module that say's it will fit the "mystique"-2.0. I was wondering if any out there have this and if it's worth the $199.95 ?
98 Contour GL
CTA intake
Ford Motorsport 9mm wires
Hightower rear strut tower brace
16" sport edition tekno
removed res. Summit turbo muffler($14.75!)

On JET's website they have a module for the 2.0L. They charge $319.95. They say gains of up to 30hp, but the chart says 10-12. I wonder if they'll program it specifically for what you've done to your car (CAI, exhaust, etc.). It should help on our crappy transmissions in any case. I have a question, if these companies can make our cars so much better for $200, why doesn't Ford do it at the factory?

Emissions
Cost[/b]don't forget gas milage too... they could make a Zetec puting out more hp but at a cost of gas milage but you would thing that doesn't mean anything but the gov. grade the manuffactures on what the fleet milages is. which is why ford now uses 5w20 oil to get a tenth or two better MPG for each car truck and SUV.

JET claims higher mpg on many of their chips.

I have it it. it kicks ass and i love it. you will have to get a air intake system i found the escort ZX2 after market system to be real nice and also if you go to jets site they also have an air to fule mixture gage that goes with it (at an adttional cost) this is very good to have after this mod also.

oh another thing to do is B&Ms shift kit they make one for these cars i have that also with an auto its almost a standard needed mod the combination of all three will totaly blow your mind it does add hp but not much what it really does is allow you modify your car without the stock computer trying to compensate for all your neat power mods. this is leading cause cars running really bad after mods.
