ATX MTX swap, rear drum disc swap, drilled rotors, ported intake, optim throttle body, CAI, 7.5L MAF, adj. fuel regulator, longtube headers, underdrive pulley, no EGR, low inpedence bigger injectors, 2002 Focus Swap

I want to do some test drives over the holidays, and this definitely gets me started. I have to admit, even though I'm supposed to be a settled down mom, I really love the power in my Contour. I don't know if I could be happy without the ability to get past someone in a hurry. I'll let you know my results, and keep sending suggestions!
