I finally got my SVT running right last night. It has the zetec final drive. I had it installed because I was S/C'd at the time, then went turbo. Now being all motor the car really seems to stop pulling around 6Krpm with the zetec final drive, I do have a full 3" exhaust which isn't helping either, and slightly lower compression than stock. All that adds up to the most expensive and slowest contour in human history. I do wish I had the stock final drive to say the least. I'm just happy to have it running good again.

I have 9.5:1 compression. The only way my setup could be worse is if I had the pistons made with even lower compression. I need to get at least a stock exhaust or something. I have the stock exhaust manifolds ported out, the precats were cut off and are now 3" pipes ovaled out mating to a custom made 3" y-pipe, custom 3" back to the rear y with 2.5" to two race series magnaflow cans.
Last night I took the stock maf electronics out of the housing and put it in a housing that came from a Grand Marquis 4.6L. The sampling area is the same exactly but the diameter has to be at least 75mm, maybe 80mm. I don't know if it helped performance but the butt dyno didn't feel any losses. I am probably going to sell the car to buy my lady a new car but I want to drive it for a bit at least.
