I bought a set some time ago but never installed them and now don't intend to. With the later(98+)cars the engine had VCT added as an emissions control and I believe the car would benefit from installing new cam gears and eliminating that VCT. I vaguely remember one contour owner installing them on a pre98 around a year ago and with proper Dyno tuning they saw good gains. I honestly can't remember the numbers but somewhere in the area of 10 HP at the wheels is sticking in my mind. Plus, the adjustability of having those gears would come in handy down the line if you plan on extensive mods. Not to mention the fact that they look cool!!!! 
UMMM there are some focus owners with a few mods other than the cam gears and they are seeing over 20WHP when properly dyno tuned.
