As a former Contour owner I began pondering this at 1:30 am laying in bed. What setup should you use? What has worked? What hasn't. Lets review, We have Turbo 3L and 2.5L putting down great numbers on the dyno, but not reflected on the track. Why? Traction I would say is the main issue. Wouldn't you agree? Secondly reliability has been a big issue as well. Well here is what I came up with. A bullet proof, n/a zetec. No forced induction.. why? Traction... too much torque. A high reving, zetec with an extremely aggressive cam for high end power (would suck at idle), high compression pistons and aggressive porting. Secondly, gearing on the zetec mtx 75 seems more suited for the drag strip. Have Terry H. do his magic on it and you are ready to go. Now I got idea's, just no technical know-how. ( I work with turbo cars, a little little on my rsx)
Lastly, it would have to be on a diet, stripped out. Light as possible. What do you guys think? Am I totally off target? Do we even care?
