I am pretty sure that there is no direct application for a S/C for the Zetec (although i could be wrong). I would say that you should go for the Turbo Kit from DemonDynamics. I am not even sure that anyone has it on a 'tour on this side of the pond. I hear that the end numbers in HP can be comparable to the T/C'd and S/C'd Duratecs. Nitrous is really just for kicks on occasion. It gets really expensive at $50 a bottle. If you have the cash, do the Turbo. I have heard alot of talking about FI'ing Zetecs, but no one has shocked me yet.

If you plan on doing any Type of fourced induction, you don't want to shave the head. Shaving the head increases your compresison ratio and that's the exact opposite of what you want to do with a turbo or supercharger.

Its the process of taking waste, converting it into a plasma like material, and spraying it into the intake to provide you with better gas mileage, upwards of 50mpg!

be careful with shaving your head, you now have a higher CR. And I hope you plan on ditching the stock pistons and rods. The stock ones will fail under pressure over 6-8psi easily. Get pistons from www.jepistons.com and get rods from either Eagle or from www.seanhylandfocus.com
Also, you dont wanna use T/C with NOS on a zetec engine.

ditto.
Lower CR for T/C or any FI. However, like I said, the stock pistons are to prittle for most FI or NOS applications.
