They just added a turbine, injectors, etc, to a ZX3, and they're planning on adding lots more just to see how much abuse the Zetec can take on stock internals. I guess they've got a motor waiting to be swapped in, so they don't care about blowing this one up. Must be nice, eh? Anyway, just thought you Zetec boys would like to check it out. -Rob *Just turned over 100k @ 100 mph! 1998 Contour Sport V6 ATX w/ mods & DMD http://photobox.absoluteagency.com/home/default.asp?lackey
