WTF belive it or not I don't give a f**k. I know its true. Bet you guys dont believe my buddies stock 01 ZX3 runs a 16 flat but it does. How can that be when 5.0 Mustang tested the svt focus and only got a 15.77 how can that be? with 40 extra horsepower. How can zetecs beat vtecs dont know but it happens everyday maybe because vtecs have no torque and what little there is is way way up in the rev range. Why did my chevelle only hit 144hp on the dyno (it fell on its face and died) So whats the reasoning behind all this ****. Who gives a ****!
p.s. Tom's(1turbofocus) best run ever? houston raceway park
'69 Chevelle SS
'99 Mystaque GS

Check out this topography map. You guys can see how much closer to sea level he is then you all. US Topography Doesn't DDavis have 124 with just his intake and a Fuel PR? Joe- go get that thing dynoed with the CTA. I want to see a new record holder.
Kharma is very real and she is one mean b!tch.

96 GL Zetec ATX, white with pinstripe, nickname " Sam Smooth " mods so far: CTA intake with homemade heat shield, KVR drilled front rotors & carbon pads w/ 500° fluid planned mods: exhaust (want to keep it quiet), e-ram (awaiting installation), diablo chip involuntary mods: compression increased after head gasket failure

You really think that every zetec vct left the factory with exactly 125 hp. Its a motor not an exact science some respond differently to mods look at all thee different computer codes we have to deal with. Well documented up here how some like chips more than others
If air density and tempreture made no difference nitrous would still be only at the dentists office.
If I have learned anything about motors in the 31 years since I rebuilt my first one its that some run better than others so get used to it
As for the atx I'm running Trick shift synthetic no quick fix but it helps
and the ect.. mods believe it or not I dont care but 122 fwh is what I have

and the ect.. mods cleaned up t.b. and last time I took the head off (thanks Ford) I cleaned it up and polished a bit nothing major (I love my dremmel)
As I said b4 believe it or not I dont care but 122 fwh is what I have first off the VCT Zetec have 130hp not 125hp....and NO each and ever car would dyno within +- a given hp rating which could be found if knowing the tolerances used in the design of the Zetec and where said motor that was dynoed was at in that tolerance range... ooh and the dyno corrects for conditions how high above sea level and air density... if you didn't know this goto my website and look at my dyno from november and then from april temps out side were different and the correction was different too.
