Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General General What should I do???

KEEEP IT!!! The Zetec has lots mo mods than the Duratec.....HOWEVER, you could get closer to your goal of 300hp with a Duratec than with the Zetec off the shelf (you have two extra cylinders to play with). BUT DO NOT think less of the zetecs. I have one with the MTX tranny and mine will put the hurt on many many cars that are out there with a few mods.

Remember, the Focus uses that (or a form close to it) zetec engine and the new SVT Focus with the Z engine in it is putting out 170 hp and according to Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords it got their attention! Amazing! They liked how it was beating the VW GTi's and I believe they said an integra.....so hey chin up...time to clean up the engine bay and the tools so you can start spinning wrenches. Best thing about our cars, it is more challenging to make them fast due to the lack of parts or support BUT IT CAN BE DONE!!!!! Spend more time in the forums and get to know other CEG'ers and you will be well on your way to making your car what you want....my thought process, if other 4 cyl cars can make gobs of HP and torque, it will only be a short matter of time and money before mine does too.
