What I would like to know is what would the zetecs top speed be drag limited! Around 135MPH (for a UK Mondeo Zetec with no speed limiter). Depends on the gearing and fuel quality etc, plus maybe other factors like external temperature. Paul.

Stock, with ATX, mine had nothing left when it reached the limiter. (It was a hot day the only time I did this.) But the CTA intake is on order, and other mods will come...
