Thanks to Keyser for hookin' it up
143ish HP isn't bad! Keep goin!
BTW, other mods are, custom CAI, optimized TB, B&M FPR, SVT exhaust.
Looks really good! Are the cams from the focus compatible for your zetec? You could probably do wonders with a good set. Can Chris get control of the VVT for the exhaust cam????
Looks good anyway, a little more power and the stock duratechs are going to fear you!

Are you losing power?

In the grand scheme, yes I did. However, the reason is due to the fact my intake cam was initially so far out of time, it was gaining power. The only reason I corrected it was the car had begun to stumble badly. That's where your cam gears come in. Once I have them on, I can tune cam timing w/ spark advance and should see considerable gains. THAT'S WHY I NEED YOU TO REPLY TO MY PM!!!!!!!!!!!

Note run 110 is the baseline after having timing fully corrected.

I pestered Chris to pull all 4 banks from the PCM to see if VCT could be altered/disabled/etc. Unfortunately, nothing of the sort seems to be allowed. Doesn't really matter, though. Once I toss on the cam gears VCT will mechanically be disabled anyway

Dunno if the Focus cams are compat. or not. I'd suspect they are, but I don't know if I'll get that deep into the motor since I'm seriously considering swapping in a new Focus motor before I FI anyway.
I'm still waiting on details for the chip.
Nice numbers! I think it's really fun to watch your car get dialed in. I was nervous when I first got there (ask Chris!), but now I'm trying to find reasons to go back!
Zx2racing.com or whatever has cams and cam gears and head packages for our motors..
