I had a 97 escort that I could power shift all day long with ease...but I have tried in the SVT with no luck. ANybody able to do this? 1999 CSVT-Black 15.8@89mph Driver for hire. PM me.

Since those runs, I have added gutted pre-cats and a Steeda shifter, which will hopefully improve my times. 1998 SVT

Is this an SVT? -R- Yes, this is an SVT, that was with bad pre-cats. I am not sure if the track is fast or slow. The slowest part of my times are the 60 foot times. My point was that i achieved a similar 1/8 mile time with a way poorer 60 foot time,which would seem to indicate a stronger mid to top end. 1998 SVT
