you can fit the kenne bell for about $500-1000, plus the cost of the kit. i would say that would be better then any turbo/supercharger anyone is offering...

and no, the escape one doesn't fit the contour.call kenne bell... most of the techs won't even talk to you about fitting the escape blower to the contour... ask enough and you will find out... nothing short of a new hood tho... the lower intakes are the same and i believe the FEAD off the kenne bell kit works as well. like 90% of the kit will work on the contour, obviously custom pcm tuning would be needed... i sold the car, and gave up on the whole project, i'll dig up the name of the tech i talked to about it, from what i could gather i would guess he has fitted the escape kit to a svt before... EDIT: i believe you also have to ditch the intercooler as well...
