Where are your dyno graphs to show that headers only gain 5HP? FYI, the headers give the Duratec a chance to breathe throught the ENTIRE rev range! Not to mention, make way for future mods!
Bolt-ons are stupid? Since you didn't say for Contours only, I'll assume you mean for all cars. Damn those 03/04 Cobra guys doing bolt-on pulleys and catbacks to gain 50+hp, they've gotta be nuts!
Everyone mods their car for different reasons. California has emissions restrictions that keep them from "going big." Some are into Auto-X, and small bolt-ons keep them in that lower class than going F/I'd.
Why are you selling the turbo kit? Thought you said your car was falling apart. Not exactly the best choice to "go big" now was it?
