If I am reading the plot correct:
it reads 290.6HP/245ft-lbs.
that figures out to: 354.4bhp / 258ft-lbs.
Now I'm impressed.
I need an intercooler...

That's One Mean SVT. Maybe I should go without a bumper too!
Don't like the yellow though.
Impressive to say the least.

How much HP did the yellow gain you? J/k...looks sweet...I would question the cross-badging with the cobra grille ornament, though!

WOW! I wish I had a couple(5) grand. I was curious if it would be benificial to have a intake setup similar. Tube feeding into the bumper for a real CAI. Wasn't someone working on something like that? -I also like the dash (Minus the yellow)! I love how the gauge is mounted like that. Thanks for the pics! Glad to see someone didn't mind pouring some serious $cash$ into a lowly groc. getter

1) That yellow is a crime against the car
2) Interesting setup for the intake
3) That is crazy HP - what did they do to beef up the motor AND the drivetrain?
4) How long will it last before it grenades?
5) What kind of ET/top speed would that yeild?

It looks like some of the intercooler tubing is about 4 inches off the ground.

That was Kaiser. Unfortunately for you Duratec boys, it just didn't show any worthwhile gains. Granted, you couldn't hurt anything by getting cooler air into the combustion chamber; just don't expect noticeable gains from it. I stopped by the same shop and we tested on the Zetec and fortunately for us, the little motor loves it! Hoping to accept orders very soon
