How much would that add? UMMM with that there is the motor for the power seats and leather does weigh alot more than cloth. OOh and the duratec alone is 80lbs heaver than a Zetec... every 100lbs you add to a car you lose .1 sec in the quarter.

Send your ATX tranny to Level Ten. Then, put it back in and revel in the fact you have a VERY effecient ATX that can handle gobs of power/torgue generated by the turbo'ed Zetec.
Why make things harder? Save your time, money, and headaches.
Well over 300HP/TQ utilized safely by a very strong Level Ten ATX tranny. This allows you to keep both hands on the wheel. :p

Show me a Zetec that can beat an SVT and I'll show you my favorite Contour (turbocharge, baby). How about a Mondeo? I have the article from August `95 of Performance Ford. In it is a 200+ hp Mondeo. Turbocharged, by a rather tiny T-02 turbo. If you want the articles, PM me with you email address, I will send them all to you (6 pages or so). I stole the images off of a now deleted thread on fordmondeo.org.
