would the new Jackson Racing supercharger for the Zetec fit on the contours? or would u have to move some stuff in the engine bay around?

That is EXACTLY true, Jackson told me (after mos. of pestering emails) that the reason the entire kit won't work is that the brackets and other kit paraphranaelia(sp?) are specifically made for the focus and are incompatible w/ our cars, my guess is you could probably my the Eatoon blower and fabricate your own brackets and stuff. It still won't make as much power as the turbo kits that are rapidly surfacing for our car.

Plus,it's a waste of money...go find a dyno chart of that SC on a focus...

Gained about 20 lb/ft or torque...

For almost $3,000...I don't think so...

Maybe on a modded Focus you could see better gains, possibly by stepping up the boost. But then the bottom end would need some work I imagine. That may have been on a project car of some sort, in which case it probably wasn't a stock motor. I haven't seen ANY focus add ons putting down that kind of power except for turbos or project cars companies have built. Interesting none the less.
