jd2-98s Veteran CEG\'er J Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 508 Rhode Island	I'm using the Unorthadox Racing Underdrive light weight crank pully with an AEM oversized light weight alt pully. I picked them up threw CTA motorsports. Another quick and cheap mod is the Throttle body from Buckshot, really easy to install, he does really good grinding work, glass smooth, and hell, u get a clean TB. Last thing I want to do is get a chip, but have to send my computer out to have it's info downloaded. Messing with the VCT sounds a bit risky, but me I live for risky. If worst comes to worst it's only 2000+ for a rebuilt engine JD JD a.k.a Fingers "Don't Panic" '98 Contour GL 2.0L VCT ATX 88k '98 Contour LX 2.5L MTX 120k Street racing can kill just less of a chance with a 2.0

Like I said before you gain VERY LITTLE by tuning the exhaust cam anyway.

Just trying to help BigT by stating some other mods, and how much it would cost to replace the Zetec if it barf'd up a valve after adding something like the VCT mod. VCT is an on/off operation for the zetec. It's either off and at mechanical timing or retards when the computer turns it on, usually at traffic stop/idle so wouldn't really see any big gain like you said.
