love the numbers... got any picures of the kit on the car??? EEC is the name for the recent family of Ford processors, the latest version of which is the EEC-V, that is being used in new cars still. OBD is simply "on-board diagnostics" that was government mandated, w/ OBD-II going into effect in 1996MY (at least in many carlines) and was incorporated into the ford EEC processor family.
It's all about balance.

No you won't. :rolleyes: Gator VR4:
Agreed, especially on the VR4 part! Well, this seems awfully unrealistic of the both of you. You don't think that with the right internals (forged, 8.0CR), which means increased boost, a limited slip differential and a beefed up MTX-75 that we couldn't outrun (even by an inch) a stock 3000GT VR-4, a Corvette C5 or a Ford Mustang Cobra? You have GOT to be kidding me. :rolleyes: A completely stock 2.5L SVT Contour is making around 300HP, at the WHEELS, mind you and you're... rolling your eyes at the possibility? Gawd.  .RMk..

I think its entirely possible that a 300+ HP to the wheels contour can give a great run to any of those cars on the highway until the car runs out of a gear. From a standstill it would be different unless the other guy cant launch that well.

I think the problem will be, contour=FWD, Vette & Cobra=RWD, VR$=AWD... Thats the only problem I see with us giving them a run for the money, they will launch better than us...

A completely stock 2.5L SVT Contour is making around 300HP, at the WHEELS, mind you and you're... rolling your eyes at the possibility? Gawd. [/b]Huh? A stock 2.5L SVT puts out around 165-170HP at the wheel. You mean a stock Turbo? Fine, even boost it up to 400HP, and you're still dealing with the big problem: FWD vs. RWD. And let's not forget a Cobra (pre-2003) will still put down over 360HP at the wheel. The C5 is around 380-390HP at the wheel. And the new Cobra is WELL over 400HP at the wheel. So where's the comparison? For my money, I'd much rather drive a stock C5 or Cobra than an SVT with over $10K worth of mods to make it as fast as the other ones. No slam against the SVT, as I owned one up until 3 months ago. But when the prices were released for the turbo, I realized that a Turbo, Quaife, exhaust, and good tires would cost nearly as much as the SVT itself was worth, and you'll never recoup the costs down the line. So why bother? I'll just pick up a low mileage 2000 C5 for $27K and be done with it. To each his own, and I commend Chris and his crew for their work on this, it's just not for me.

Huh? A stock 2.5L SVT puts out around 165-170HP at the wheel. You mean a stock Turbo? This entire thread is about turbocharged Contours. I thought you could assume for me.  Fine, even boost it up to 400HP, and you're still dealing with the big problem: FWD vs. RWD.
And let's not forget a Cobra (pre-2003) will still put down over 360HP at the wheel. The C5 is around 380-390HP at the wheel. And the new Cobra is WELL over 400HP at the wheel. Uh, no. The C5 drops 390 at the crank. Not the wheels. the Cobra, 385 and the 3000GT VR4, about 320 So where's the comparison? For my money, I'd much rather drive a stock C5 or Cobra than an SVT with over $10K worth of mods to make it as fast as the other ones. The funny thing about this part of your response is that the CSVT with over $10k of modification still comes to only $32K, and that's only if you paid retail. I paid $15k for mine. No slam against the SVT, as I owned one up until 3 months ago. But when the prices were released for the turbo, I realized that a Turbo, Quaife, exhaust, and good tires would cost nearly as much as the SVT itself was worth, and you'll never recoup the costs down the line. So why bother? I'll just pick up a low mileage 2000 C5 for $27K and be done with it. You do what you want, sir. But a 20PSI CSVT with forged internals would blow rught by ya, highway or drag. To each his own, and I commend Chris and his crew for their work on this, it's just not for me. .RMk..
