there have been alot of people who said the same thing, but never did the turbo. nobody has a turbo ATX. it seems zetec guys and atx guys all say theyu will do big things but never do. the guy who just put a turbo on his zetec tour is the first one to accually show proof of it, and seawulf is the first zetec guy (he got a cougar) to show proof of a turbo
i think im the first who said they was gonna seriously mod an ATX that accually did it. i got a 3L with various tranny mods, check my sig for details
id like to see you do it, but make sure to post pics if you do!

Spend your money on traction and your time on learning to launch these cars. That will pay better dividends in getting good times in the 1/4 then thousands on nitrous and turbos.
Of course, no amount of skill can help in a rolling start on the freeway when you want to pull away from a fast car. Better get money for mods if you want to do that.
Sounds like someone's using HP to make up for poor driving skills... 
...and I'm not just saying that because you have me by 100 at the wheels either. 
I still say from stop light to stop light I could take you. A nice quick race that never sees 3rd yer gone. I mean gear... 
Just you wait Tom. You'll get yours eventually...  
No chance. I'm not even remotely joking on that one!
Maybe through 1st gear and just into second but at the top of second.......
Besides, I get better every day while you just stay the same (if you were already that good). 
That torque on this motor feels very nice so far, I'm thinking you will be having trouble as long as I've got traction.
