I decided to type it up... http://home.wi.rr.com/buttonpuncher/Contour/Zetec_Dyno.xls It's really cool because it shows how much each modification helps/hurts. Please keep in mind that this was from an '03 Focus Zetec. I added the HP/TQ gain chart at the bottom.

'Course they were using a shorty header, not a long tube header like on Tourettes Zetec. They should add a HP/$ column too. Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

BTW, you may have to hit reload on your browser to see the changes. Mod, is this worth a sticky?

If that makes a difference. That sucks, the only true engine modification I've done is the K&N air filter. Oh well, at least it has some improvement and has a million mile warranty.

Is my assumption correct? So, a crank pulley (underdrive and lightened) is worth 5 horses, fine. I feel that the sheer weight reduction of a Fidanza flywheel should be worth 15 horses. Am I off-base here? 96 GL-Sport 2.0L, MTX Bernardo Bourges' CTA CAI, Dmitri's SVT E0s rims, 205/55R-16, Dunlop SPs.

Originally posted by shamun: ...for every pound of rotational weight that is reduced, there is an increase of 2.7 HP. Is my assumption correct? I've never heard that specific stat. It would make sense that by replacing your stock (heavy) flywheel with something lighter, you would see some nice gains. I'm not sure about 15HP. That sounds like quite a bit. The thing about replacing your crank pulley is that it slows everything down. That frees up alot of wasted energy at high rpms plus it is easier to get your accesoories moving at low rpms. It is probably the equivalent of reducing your rotational mass by a couple/few pounds. If anyone has dyno readings of a before/after with a lightened flywheel, please speak up!
