Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Zetec Performance does any one rag on the zetec

well just wondering because i rag a decent amount to get on the highway and been doing it for a few years




i know its not the best thing to do to your engine but the higher rps is were all the power is at






rag = high revs

I think we all do.

just making shure im not alone and messing up my engine alot





i bet hector doesn't have to rag on his to much to get on the highway


i wish i had a s/c

I do occasionally, but I try not to do it too much. I've got almost 115K on the engine and drivetrain and I'd like to have it get me through to graduation in 2.5 years.

But yeah, rag=high revs=fun drivin'

i try not to to



but its impossible to get on the highway with a automatic

without doing it

my zetec still ran awesome at 133,00 miles and its been ragged on all day long everyday for 60,000 miles, and i never had to do a whole lot to the engine besides the timing belt and wires and plugs and a vct solenoid, wish the CD4E liked me more though...lol...and you cant say i drive like an a$$hole either because thats what u have to do to keep up with traffic with the ATX zetec!

weres hector to defend himself

The operating RPM range is idle to red line. Thats what it was built for. There should be no problem when operating this equipment in the recommended range. If the equipment is not to be operated in this range , the factory would have reduced it. Thats why the red line isn't 9000.
OPINION
I believe its not the fact that you go to red line - its the rate at which it is done. Always flooring it to red line will cause a problem.
