DANG! I wished I had found this info when I did my 98 a month ago. I've been turning wrenches from 16 and 38 now, Every thing used to be so simple. I sat there for an hour looking at a half tooth differance, scratching my head afraid to put it together. It runs ok but how much will a half tooth afect preformence? Will VCT compensate? Makes me want to go back in to make sure. Been watching mileage changes and power band. 28-31mpg (HWY) sound right? and about 3500RPMs she starts to pull you into the seat. This is the only Contour I ever drove so not sure how well mine should preform?
